Transfer and Renewal Guide

Internet Domain Registration has changed dramatically within the past few years. New renewal options can benefit you in many ways including:

• Lower prices
• Flexible renewal terms
• Friendly customer support
• Easy management with our real-time Domain Manager

Domain registration is no longer controlled by a single company with the exclusive right to register all .com, .net, and .org domains. Instead, there are now multiple domain name registrars competing for your business.

TopDomain.com is committed to providing you with the prompt, reliable, and customer-oriented registration service that you deserve.

If you wish to transfer your domain from another company, you will find a guide to the complete process available here.

In transferring your domain you will be renewing the registration by a minimum of one year ; however, you will also have the option of renewing up to a maximum of ten years. We offer options for 1, 2, 5, and 10 year renewals (see below).

As a special incentive we are offering for a limited time the special price of $59.00 for a two-year domain renewal - a significant savings off our regular yearly price! And, this is the only fee you pay - there are no more "InterNIC" fees to bother you.

Please be assured that the official or legal status of your domain name is not in any way adversely affected when you transfer domain registrars. Your domain resides in the same official central registry that contains every other .com, .net and .org domain. Similarly, your existing web and e-mail services will NOT be interrupted during this process!

If I transfer and renew now will I lose any of my registration time?
No. If you wish to transfer and renew your domain registration, there is no reason to delay. The renewal period begins when the existing term expires, so that no time is lost that you have already paid for. (example: If your domain expires on July 1, 2004 and you renew the domain for two years on May 1, 2004, your new registration will expire on July 1, 2006)

How does the online Domain Manager benefit me?
Almost everyone at some time needs to update information in their domain registration record - in fact, keeping accurate, current information is a legal requirement.  Such changes might occur, for example, in an address, telephone number, or the name servers that support your web site.  With our real-time Domain Manager, you can go online at any time of day or night and make these changes by simply entering the new information.  You can even make a change of ownership in this way!  By comparison, the old monopoly registrar (probably your current one) requires sending awkward forms back and forth, and even notarized statements to make such changes.  Anyone who has labored under that frustrating old system knows that they deserve some relief !  You can view our Domain Manager here.
