Domain Transfer and DNSSEC

[jackson_acha]

Hi there,
I have a domain afrilandfirstbank.com registered enom.com but I use you (ZoneEdit) as my DNS provider and my nameserver are ns17.zoneedit.com and ns8.zoneedit.com. According to these articles:

• https://forum.zoneedit.com/threads/dnssec.11810/
• https://support.zoneedit.com/en/knowledgebase/article/dnssec

For me to have DNSSEC implemented on my domain name, ZoneEdit needs to be the registrar of the domain. So what I want to know is ;

1. Is there any cost for transfering my domain expiring 2024-03-23 from enom.com to ZoneEdit, as my primary registrar ?
2. Is there any cost for implementing DNSSEC ones we have ZoneEdit as our primary registrar ?

Hello, Yes there will be a fee as a year is added to the domains existing expiration date and once zoneedit is thew registrar support for DNSSEC is included with registration

So that is the only cost? Also how much will it cost us to renew with you?

 

[sandy]

the fee for a .com is $20.00 USD and that includes DNS and DNSSEC. The fee for renewals may be $20.00 as well but the registry raises prices almost yearly now so it may be higher by the time you need to renew.

my primary domain has many sub-domains and all have Name servers here on Zone Edit. On transferring the domain registrar to Zone Edit, is there any downtime? I am worried that my services will be down during the transfer. I have services running on each sub-domain in my account.

Also, how do I accept the domain here on ZoneEdit ?

hi there so I can better understand, what is the domain name of concern? if it is afrilandfirstbank.com, then the nameservers records inside the zone need to be changed to
Name Server: NS17.ZONEEDIT.COM
Name Server: NS8.ZONEEDIT.COM
to use zoneedit for DNS

as its already delegated to zoneedit nameservers a registrar transfer will not result in any downtime./. at present the domain is down as it has microsoftonline.com NS records inside the zone while delegated to zoneedit at its registrar.
