How to transfer your domain name to us

By transferring your domain name to us you'll get great service, free features and competitive prices. The transfer process varies slightly for different domain extensions, but moving your domain name to LCN.com is really simple and our guide below will help you move your domain, whatever the extension may be.

When transferring a domain name, our system will automatically bring the current nameservers across. If you are looking to move all your services to the LCN.com (email and website) straight away, please be sure to reset the nameservers to point to us. A guide on how to do this can be found below:
