Will my nameservers be imported during a transfer?

Yes, they will! We don't change the nameservers assigned to a domain when it transfers to Porkbun. They will carry over automatically with the domain itself.

Is that a good or a bad thing?

It depends. If you're using your previous registrar's nameservers, you will most likely need to switch to Porkbun's nameservers and recreate your DNS records with us (if you have any you need to keep).

If you're using a third-party host's nameservers (such as your web hosting provider or a DNS provider like Cloudflare), they'll keep working properly after the domain transfer completes, and no further action is needed to keep things online.

For more information, please see our article on how to transfer a domain to Porkbun with little to no DNS downtime. Feel free to get in touch with our support team if you have any questions or concerns.
