When transferring a gTLD domain name from one Registry to another, one year registration will be added to your domain name automatically. For this reason some ISP's/Registrar's charge for transfers and some don't! so make sure before you check before you start the process.
Transfers usually take between 3-7 days depending on the Registry. However, this should not effect any services provided by your ISP during the transfer process.
Please note: If you have not requested the transfer within 7 days Fasthosts/UKREG automatically reinstate the Registar-Lock on your domain name.
