Can I transfer an expired domain name?

In case a domain name has expired and entered quarantine status, then it is inactive, but can be transferred to Top.Host.


For .GR domain names

The transfer of an expired .GR domain to Top.Host is done manually after a request to the technical support department.

(In case you don't remember the authorization code, you can use the code reminder form that will appear and the code will be sent to the owner's email you have specified).



For .EU domain names

To transfer a .EU domain name to Top.Host, you follow an equally simple registrar process. Transferring .EU domains costs extra and includes domain renewal for 1 year from the current expiration date. You can see the cost here.
