# 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.

Also searched as: domain transfer · move domain to Cloudflare · transfer domain from GoDaddy

- **Starting price:** From $100

- **Where:** Remote, anywhere in the U.S.

- **Quote:** Fixed price before work starts

## Try this first

- Export or screenshot every DNS record at the current registrar
- Recreate the records at the new provider first
- Unlock the domain and request the authorization code
- Start the transfer at the new registrar and approve it
- Check the website and email after it completes

Common causes

- DNS records not copied before the transfer
- Email records (MX, SPF, DKIM) missed
- Trying to transfer too soon after registering the domain or changing its owner details

## 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.
