Transferring a domain name is a simple but important process when you want better pricing, reliable support, or everything managed under one trusted provider. At Kailash Cloud, we help businesses and individuals across Nepal transfer their domains smoothly without downtime or technical hassle.
This guide explains what domain transfer is, when you should do it, and exactly how to transfer a domain name step by step.
What Is Domain Name Transfer?
People often confuse domain transfer with hosting migration in general. A domain name transfer means moving your domain from your current registrar to another registrar — such as Kailash Cloud.
- Your domain ownership remains the same
- Your website and emails remain safe
- Only the registrar managing your domain changes
When handled properly, there is no website or email downtime during the transfer.
