Is it possible to keep my current nameserver at a transfer?

If you transfer a Domain, it is possible to keep your current nameservers. We will then, enter the nameservers of your previous provider into our system.

  • I want to keep the current nameservers

    At standard this option is deactivated and can be activated during the ordering procedure. Click in the shopping cart at the tab “nameserver” and activate checkbox “Keep current nameservers”. In that case and if it's technically possible, we will apply the nameservers of the previous provider. This exclusively relates to the nameservers and not to the entries and records on the nameservers. 

    You can make this your standard settings. Therefore, go to the customer area to the menuitem “Settings” → “Default settings”. As long as this option is set, we will by default apply your previous nameservers. Other default settings on the nameserver will not be effective. 

    Regardless of the default settings, this function can be activated or deactivated in the shopping cart for individual domains.
