Transferring a domain to TecNut is straightforward. Before you start, you'll need to do two things at your current registrar:
- Unlock your domain — turn off the transfer lock in your current registrar's settings
- Get your authorisation code (also called an EPP code or transfer key) — your current registrar can provide this
For .uk domains: You don't need an authorisation code. Instead, ask your current registrar to change your domain's IPS Tag to TUCOWS-CA.
Once you're ready, go to your Domains page and click Transfer In. Enter your domain name and authorisation code, set up payment, and we'll handle the rest. Transfers typically take 5-7 days.
Your website and email will usually stay working during the transfer — we preserve your existing nameservers and DNS records.
No - you can try our platform for FREE. No credit card details required. If you're happy with your new website and you would like to keep it, you simply add your payment details and select pay monthly or annually. Payment is only taken when your trial period expires.
Please also check you junk or spam mail. If it's not there, please double check the spelling of your email address. If you've done this and still haven't received it, please send us a message on our contact page and we'll get back to you ASAP.
If you need to cancel, head to your Websites page and click Settings on the website you want to cancel. You'll find a subscription management section with an End Subscription & Remove Site button.
Your website won't disappear straight away — it'll be scheduled for removal at the end of your current billing period. Changed your mind before then? Just click Undo End Subscription and everything carries on as normal.
We'd hate to see you go, but we won't make it difficult. If there's something we could do better, let us know — we genuinely want to hear it.
If you've got auto-renewal turned on (which we recommend), you don't need to do anything — we'll charge your card on file and renew it automatically before it expires.
To check your auto-renewal setting, go to your Domains page, click Manage on the domain, and look for the Auto-Renewal section. Green means auto-renew is on. Red means it's set to expire — you'll need to renew manually.
Important: Auto-renewal only works if you have a valid primary payment card on your account. If your card has expired, update it in your Account Settings.
For external domains (registered with another provider), renewal is handled by your current registrar — not by us.
