Fast & simple domain transfer in the UK

Transfer your domain quickly, securely and with clear guidance. Use our simple domain transfer tool to switch registrar and manage your domains in one place with Big Reseller — ideal for businesses, e-commerce, agencies and personal brands across the UK.

Prefer to register a new domain instead? Try our domain search or see current domain offers.

Example: yourbrand (without .co.uk) — or enter the full domain depending on what you’re transferring.
Tip: For UK audiences, .co.uk is often best. Want to protect the brand? Transfer .com as well.
To transfer a domain you’ll usually need an EPP code (also called a transfer code/auth code) from your current registrar. It’s used to approve a secure transfer. Where do I find my EPP/transfer code?

DNS control

After transfer, manage DNS records (A, CNAME, MX, TXT) from one place and connect your domain to web, email, CDN or third-party services.

Step-by-step

How to transfer a domain (without downtime)

A domain transfer is simply changing your registrar — you keep the same domain name. With the right prep, the transfer can be completed smoothly without disrupting your website or email.

1) Prep at your current registrar

✔ Unlock the domain: the domain must be “unlocked” to transfer.

✔ Request the EPP/transfer code: often shown in the domain panel or sent to the admin email.

✔ Check admin email: approvals and notices are commonly sent there.

2) Start the transfer with Big Reseller

✔ Enter domain + TLD: use the form at the top of the page.

✔ Paste the transfer code: required for secure approval.

✔ Approve the transfer: sometimes via email, depending on the TLD and registrar.

3) DNS & continuity – avoid disruption

A registrar transfer usually won’t break your website as long as DNS continues to point correctly. We recommend noting your current DNS settings before you start (A/CNAME for website, MX/TXT for email).

Planning to move hosting/email at the same time? It’s best to plan it as one project. See also: Web hosting, Email hosting, SSL.

SEO & domain transfers

Will a domain transfer affect SEO or Google rankings?

A domain transfer (changing registrar) is not the same as changing your domain name. You keep the same website address. If DNS is configured correctly, the transfer usually completes without SEO issues.

Better renewals, cleaner DNS management and avoiding accidental expiry can indirectly protect your long-term visibility and brand.

Same domain name

You’re changing the registrar, not the brand or URL — making transfers a safe admin upgrade.

DNS is the key

If DNS points correctly, your website and email keep working. We can help plan the settings.

Email can continue

With correct MX/TXT records, email shouldn’t be disrupted. Afterwards you can choose our email hosting.
