Yes! - You can transfer your domain name to 1st Domains and use our free services and not pay anything until your domain name is due for renewal. (Excludes gTLDs e.g .com)
The only exception to this is if you attempt to transfer your domain name and it is due to expire in less than 75 day's time. In this case you will be asked to renew your domain name by credit card at the time of transfer to 1st Domains.
gTLDs such as .com info .biz are also free to transfer but do require a one-year renewal payment at time of transfer. This is added onto your existing term. So, if you have 6 months on your term, transferring to 1st Domains will result in 18 months remaining.
