When you transfer your domain registration, you are also automatically adding one year to your domain’s expiration date. So, for example, if your domain expires in 2024 and you transfer it today, its expiry date will be in 2025 with your transfer. This ensures you do not lose any time you have already paid for your domain with another provider.
