Home / Domain Checker
Free tool
Type your domain. In a few seconds you see who holds it, where your website and email really live, and what breaks if the move happens in the wrong order.
Free, no sign up. We only read public records and never touch your domain.
Public DNS can't list every record, so this covers the names that matter most: . Cloudflare and most DNS hosts can import the zone file. Check your current DNS host for anything extra before you change nameservers.

If the registrar needs the owner's ID, only you can send it. We tell you exactly what to send and where.
Get emergency helpPlus the new registrar's own transfer fee, usually one year of renewal, paid to them directly. You keep every password. You pay by invoice once we confirm the plan.
Doing it yourself
Most broken moves skip a step or do two in the wrong order. Follow these and the website and email never notice.
Write down or export every DNS record first: website, email and verification codes. The checker above grabs the common ones.
If DNSSEC is on, switch it off at the registrar a day before you touch the nameservers.
Turn off the transfer lock at the old registrar and ask for the transfer code.
Enter the code at the new registrar and approve the confirmation email. The domain stays in your name.
Re-create every record at the new DNS host. Only then change the nameservers.
Check the website, send yourself a test email, then cancel the old plan. Never cancel first.
Questions
Straight answers about moving a domain.
Yes. The checker is free and needs no sign up. It only reads public records, the same ones any registrar or DNS tool can see. You only pay if you want us to do the move.
Public DNS only answers for the names you ask about, so nobody can pull a complete list from the outside. We check the names that matter most: the root of the domain, www, email (MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC) and autodiscover. Before a move, also export the full list from your current DNS host.
Not if it's done in the right order. Email only breaks when the MX, SPF and DKIM records go missing at the new DNS host. Copy them over first, then switch the nameservers, and mail keeps arriving.
Most transfers finish within a week. Some finish the same day once the old registrar approves the move. Your website and email keep working the whole time if the records are copied first.
It's a password for the domain itself, also called an EPP code or auth code. Your current registrar gives it to you once the transfer lock is off. The new registrar asks for it to start the move.
Usually, yes. That's what the emergency rescue is for. If the registrar needs the owner's ID, only you can send it, but we tell you exactly what to send, where to send it and what to say.
No. You keep every login. We send exact steps you follow, or, where the company allows it, you add us as a helper on the account and remove us after.
The new registrar charges its own transfer fee, usually one year of renewal added to the domain. You pay that to them directly, and the domain stays in your name.
