Hi all,
I'm from Pakistan. Today I purchased a domain name from a local reseller. It costed me 15$ and I don't have DNS control, mail forwarding and URL forwarding. They are offering these services for 9$ per year.
I don't want to continue with them, I want to transfer my domain to some other service provider. Is there any company that transfer domains for free plus they also offer complete DNS control, mail and URL forwarding with their basic plan I mean free off course.
Note: I don't have a CC and services like Google checkout and PayPal are also not available here in Pakistan. Thats why I want this domain to be transfered for free right now.

Any reply regarding this quire is greatly appreciated.

Hello AqeelSyed and welcome to WebmasterWorld.

I just searched Google using the phrases "transfer domain" and "free domain transfer". The search triggered a variety of offers.

The problem with any domain related offer is that such offers almost always come with conditions attached. Typically, you have to buy other services to get the deal and therefore it's not really a domain price deal. Personally, I'd prefer to find offers that come with no strings attached and usually means I don't go looking for "free" (anything).

Please note: As part of our spam and promotional activity fighting effort we restrict posts that ask for or suggest companies with whom to do business. We prefer discussions that focus on how to make better business judgments over discussions about 'which company is better'. The latter approach results in forums that are littered with spam and promotional posts.

As mentioned, you probably won't find a transfer that is totally free without strings (since it costs the registrar $6 or so for the transfer).

If it's purely because you can't use credit cards or paypal, another option is to pay through moneybookers, which is available to your country. There are some registrars that accept that for payment.

But it sounds quicker and easier to simply pay the $9 with your existing registrar, at least for this year.

when You use any of famous registrar to transfer your domain they will charge you 6-9$ but then they will give u additional 1 year as well.so its still free!

Don't forget to search for a discount Coupon code before you order a transfer.
