We have a number of production server domains registered with a small registration company. They all expire at the end of the month.

We would like to migrate them to godaddy.com, but are unsure if we should first renew the domains and then transfer them to godaddy, or transfer then to godaddy, renewing them in the process.

It depends entirely on how fast the registrar processes the transfer. An hour or less is typical, though if they want to be obstructionist they can drag it on for weeks. Though your choice of GoDaddy is kind of odd...

  • Why is godaddy odd? I thought there were one of the major registratrs and domain name management services? Would you recommend someone else? – port5432 Oct 08 '15 at 10:02
  • I prefer not to give money to companies that [work actively against my interests](http://godaddyboycott.org/). I've long since [moved to Namecheap](http://readwrite.com/2011/12/27/namecheap_will_donate_1_to_eff_for_every_domain_tr). – Michael Hampton Oct 08 '15 at 12:20
