I have a domain (.org) that’s currently with a US registrar (web.com) that I’m looking to move. Is it possible to move a .org domain to an EU registrar, and do you know of any good ones?
Edit. Thanks guys, the domain expires in a few months so no more money from me to the US. My money for eu jobs.
This should be possible. I don’t know how much work it is, but web.com has an article about that: https://www.web.com/help/article/transferring-vs-moving-a-domain
Not sure about good registrars, but eu-alternatives page has that category: https://european-alternatives.eu/category/domain-name-registrar
I personally recommend Austrian world4you: https://www.world4you.com/en - the support is amazing.
Edit: added a link to world4you
Its a very simple standardised process.
- Go to your current registrar and initiate domain transfer / unlock domain.
- You can now initiate transfer with the new registrar.
- The old registrar will give you an auth code in some way.
- Enter the code in your new registrar.
- Update name servers
As far as I know, OVH has a domain transfer service.
I can recommend them, been a happy customer since 2009 (give or take).
And yes, you can move .org to EU registrar too, you just need AUTH-ID from current provider, which should be available from their portal quite easily.

inwx.com is pretty awesome and straightforward.
I use IONOS for Lemmy.wtf and PeerTube.wtf
