Need to preconfigure DNS prior to transferring?

Some providers will disable your DNS after transferring so you may need to preconfigure DNS on our side first. To do so, please read the knowledge base article "How to transfer a domain to Porkbun with little to no DNS downtime"


Make sure the domain is ready for transfer.
