The problem with traditional domain transfers

Transferring a domain has always been associated with risk. Will the email stop working? Will the website go down? Do I have to manually re-enter all DNS records?

We've listened to our customers and developed something unique: DNS SmartCopy - an intelligent solution that automatically copies ALL your DNS settings when you transfer your domain to us.

"It's like moving to a new house where someone has already unpacked all your things and placed them exactly where they should be" Our Technical Director at HostUp
Did you know: 7 out of 10 businesses experience email or website issues when transferring domains. With DNS SmartCopy, you won't be part of that statistic.

Frequently asked questions about DNS SmartCopy

Have questions about how DNS SmartCopy works or about domain transfers in general?

How long does the domain transfer take in total?

DNS SmartCopy copies your DNS records in just 5 minutes. The actual domain transfer between registrars can take 1-5 days depending on your current provider, but here's the amazing part: your website and email continue to work without interruption throughout the process thanks to all DNS records being copied automatically from the start!

Does DNS SmartCopy work with all domain providers?

Yes, DNS SmartCopy works with all providers that follow standard DNS protocols. We read the public DNS records regardless of where the domain is registered today - it could be GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare, or any other provider. The system automatically identifies all your DNS records and copies them perfectly.

What happens if something goes wrong during the transfer?

DNS SmartCopy has several built-in security features:

Rollback function: If something doesn't work as expected, we can restore previous settings
Validation: All records are checked before activation
Logging: Complete history of all changes is saved
Support: Our technical support monitors all transfers and can intervene if something looks strange

In practice, we've never had to use the rollback function, but it's there as extra security.

Are ALL DNS records really copied?

We copy all relevant DNS records needed for your services to continue working:

✓ Copied automatically:
• A & AAAA (IP addresses)
• MX (email servers)
• TXT (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, verifications)
• CNAME (aliases/redirects)
• SRV (Teams, Skype, other services)
• CAA (certificate authorization)

✗ NOT copied (for security reasons):
• NS records (you choose nameservers yourself)
• Cloudflare proxy IPs
• Private/internal IP addresses

Does DNS SmartCopy work with Microsoft 365/Office 365?

Absolutely! DNS SmartCopy has special support for Microsoft 365 and automatically copies all necessary records:

• Exchange Online MX records
• Autodiscover for Outlook
• Teams and Skype for Business SRV records
• SPF, DKIM and DMARC for email security
• Mobile Device Management (MDM) records

Everything continues to work exactly as before - your users won't even notice the domain has been transferred!

Can I see which DNS records will be copied before I transfer?

Yes! When you start the domain transfer, DNS SmartCopy shows a preview of all DNS records that will be copied. You can review the list and see exactly what will be transferred. If you want, you can also export the list as a backup before the transfer begins.

Does DNS SmartCopy cost extra?

No, DNS SmartCopy is completely free when you transfer your domain to us! You only pay the regular annual fee for the domain (from $9.99/year for .com domains). There are no hidden fees or extra costs - DNS SmartCopy is our gift to you to make the domain transfer as smooth as possible.
