Can I transfer an expired domain to Porkbun?

It depends on the losing registrar. Some Registrars (such as Porkbun or Godaddy) will allow an expired domain to be transferred out. However, you can initiate a transfer to Porkbun with confidence. If the transfer fails and you're forced to renew at your current registrar, simply contact Porkbun Support and we'll cancel the transfer and refund you.

An expired domain is safe to begin a transfer outwards from Porkbun at or before 15 days of expiry. Expired domains listed at auction would need to be renewed before starting a transfer, and would not be applicable for renew or transfer if an active bid exists. Please contact our support team for additional assistance with the transfer of an expired name.
