After your .nz domain name is transferred, it will remain active as the transfer is instantaneous.

You can however, begin setting up services for your domain name from our web site. You can do this right after you receive our email confirming your Account Number and Password.

Transfers of non-.nz domain names (such as .com, .info, and .org) may take up to 7 days to complete. However, the transfer is usually completed sooner. The duration depends on the losing registrar. Services should continue to work during the transfer.

IMPORTANT: We recommend checking with your losing registrar to confirm that any services you have with them (such as email, DNS, and web hosting) will continue to work once the domain is transferred away. Some registrars require the domain to remain with them in order to provide these services. Your services with third party providers will also NOT be transferred to 1st domains. You are just changing the registrar.
