What happens to my domain if I cancel?

It's yours either way. A domain you connected stays connected for 30 days after your site goes offline; your cancellation email gives the date.

A domain you already owned stays registered wherever you bought it, so you can point it at a new site whenever you like. A domain you got through us is registered in your name: if you cancel, it stays yours until the end of the year already paid for, and we don't renew it after your plan ends.

To move it to another registrar, use "Move yourdomain.com to another registrar" on the Domain page to get your transfer code. If you take the money-back refund on your first payment, you keep a free domain we registered, and we keep back our regular price for its first year from that refund.
