How to Transfer a Domain to a New Registrar Without Breaking Email

Copy every DNS record first, unlock the domain and get the transfer code, then start the transfer. Keeping identical DNS records before and after the move keeps your website and email working.

When it’s more than a quick fix

If your registrar also hosts your email or website, or the domain is in someone else’s account, plan the move carefully.
