Understand how we handle billing for domains transferred to WebHostingM.
When you transferred a domain from another provider to our domain services, billing is as follows.
- your existing registration time with your original provider is maintained.
- on completion of the transfer, the registration time is extended by a year.
- you are billed for the extended year right away.
- you are not billed again until your domain is about to expire and needs to be renewed.
- all transferred-in domains use subscriptions.
A typical example of how billing works when you transfer a domain to us would be:
- If the domain had one month of registration time left before the transfer, you get billed for 1 year at the time of transfer. The next billing event after the transfer completes is the domain's next renewal, 12 months (1 year) after the transfer.
- If the domain had two years of registration time left before the transfer, the next billing event is 3 years (2 years + 1 year) later.
