You told me to transfer my domains before the 6th of March. But the transfer takes 5-7 days. Even if I initiate the transfer today or tomorrow it won't finish before the 6th. What will you do if the transfer doesn't get finalized before the 6th? Answer please!


A DNS transfer doesn't take 5-7 days. It takes up to, but rarely, ~72 hours.


Their website says it takes 5 days.


In the most extreme of cases.

In most cases it takes no more than a few hours. Maybe a day.


It's been quite a few hours but the domains I started transferring still haven't transferred, while they did transfer from other registrars like Godaddy within an hour at most.


Just a heads up: After initiating a transfer, Namecheap sends you an email asking if you initiated the domain transfer, including a link in case you want to „reject“.

Despite the wording in the email, that link also allows you to approve the transfer. I did that yesterday and once I approved the transfers using that link, the transfer happened pretty much immediately.


This is golden! Thanks!


These emails have stopped arriving.

Try and remember that it’s not about you. People and their homes are being bombed out.

Their boss decided to align with them over a dollar. A rarity in the corporate world to be sure.

It’s inconvenient for some people, but that’s about all it is.


Yes, but they will remove root DNS.


I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to say here. Namecheap doesn't operate root name servers.
