DNS records don't move with the domain when it changes provider.
Many people know the result: the website points to the wrong place, email starts bouncing, and someone has to recreate every record by hand. DNS SmartCopy removes that step — when you start the transfer, we read your public DNS records and set them up with us before the domain switches over.
The same domain transfer — with and without DNS SmartCopy.
| Traditional transfer | With DNS SmartCopy | |
|---|---|---|
| DNS records during the transfer | Disappear and must be re-entered | Copied automatically before the move |
| Email during the transfer | Risk of bouncing messages | Keeps working without interruption |
| Manual work needed | Every record looked up and entered by hand | None — handled automatically |
| Time until everything works | Often 1–3 days | About 5 minutes |
| Risk of downtime | High, especially for email | None — the records are already in place |
This is what happens in the first five minutes after you start the transfer.
SmartCopy recognizes the records for the most common services and copies them correctly.
This is built into every transfer with DNS SmartCopy.
Every record is checked before it goes live. If anything is wrong, we can restore the previous settings.
DNS records are copied and activated in five minutes at most. You don't need to watch over the transfer.
Our technical support sees every transfer in progress and steps in if something looks off.
Thousands of domain transfers have already been completed with DNS SmartCopy.
Have questions about how DNS SmartCopy works or about domain transfers in general?
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. Throughout that time, your website and email keep working, because all DNS records are copied at the start of the transfer.
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.
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.
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
Yes. 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 as before — your users won't notice the domain has moved.
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.
No. DNS SmartCopy is always included when you transfer your domain to us. The transfer price and whether a year is added depend on the extension. You will always see the current price and terms before completing the order, and some extensions can be transferred with no fee.
