hi there, did you see this guide already?

> [@\[Support Guide\] How do I transfer my domain name to (or away from) Netlify?](https://answers.netlify.com/t/common-issue-how-do-i-transfer-my-domain-name-to-or-away-from-netlify/186):

> Last checked by Netlify Support Team July 2025 Great question! Answer: You can’t transfer a domain name to Netlify- but, if you buy a domain using Netlify you can transfer it to another registrar. Wait?!? What??? Netlify is not a [domain name registrar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_name_registrar). Registrars are the companies and organizations which sell domain names. Only official registrars can accept inbound domain transfers. Because we are not a registrar, you cannot transfer a domain name to us. +1 Netlify works equally well with…

if that doesn’t help, let us know, and we’ll find another way to assist.
