No, there is no cost to registrants for the bulk transfer. Unlike a normal inter-registrar transfer, the registration terms will not be extended by a year. Accordingly, it is important to contact NamesBeyond if your registration will expire soon in order to maintain your registration.<o:p></o:p></span></p><h3><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Q.

Neither Planet Online nor Name For Name participated in the bulk transfers therefore did not forward billing information to NamesBeyond.

Note that NamesBeyond may deny transfers for the first 60 days following the bulk transfer, at its discretion.
