What are the reasons to transfer a domain name?

Our customers usually request a transfer after having an unsatisfactory experience with their current registrar or service provider – be it that they overcharge, do not notify them when expiration date is due, or display their own contact information instead of the owner's one.

Another good reason to transfer your domain is to manage it more conveniently with your hosting account at SiteGround. At Joomlinux you have a control panel for the domain name. This way you may transfer ownership, change contact information and DNS servers by yourselves. Your information may be even hidden if you would like to avoid spammers – the upgrade is known as Private Registration and costs $24.95 per year per domain name.
