Looking to transfer your domain from Kinsta to Trustname? We can't wait to have you here. While Chemicloud is one of the popular registrars on the market, popular doesn't always mean best. From mediocre support to pricey domain renewals, it's no wonder you want to move your domain.
Transfer your domain from Chemicloud to Trustname and enjoy unbeatable prices, world-class human support, and the very best domain privacy on the planet. Let's show you how. But first…
What Perks Should You Expect With Trustname?
- The Best Pricing On The Market
Like many domain registrars/web hosts on the market, Checmicloud attracts initial registrations by listing low prices for the first year. However, subsequent renewals are usually charged at several times the initial cost from the second year onward.
At Trustname, we charge a fixed $12.99 for the first year and $14.99 for renewals. And the best part? You get all the domain essentials free of charge.
Chemicloud charges $3.95 per year for domain privacy
Not only is domain privacy free on Trustname, but you also get a free SSL (for the first year), access to our premium DNS, a free branded email, and DNSSEC addons worth $100.
- Top-Tier Support
On-demand support when you need it?
Trustname is the registrar for you. Chemicloud customers complain about their support and about how agents don't have a solid grasp of a number of domain management queries.
Have a niche request or a slightly more complex issue you need solved?
Chances are you may be misled and not get accurate information from their agents.
Head over to Trustname and enjoy world-class support from an ever-growing team of domain management experts (many of whom are webmasters themselves). Our support agents are available 24/7/365, and we encourage our customers to contact us via live chat for quick help.
- Unrivaled Domain Privacy
Registrars like Chemicloud provide basic Whois privacy, replacing your domain contact information in the Whois database with proxy details or 'Redacted for privacy' (for EU customers).
At Trustname, we offer a one-of-a-kind Two-Tier Domain Privacy that allows you to register domains anonymously and then hide your domain contact information at the second level. You'll never have to link your personal information with your domain in the first place if you don't want to.
What's more? Our partner proxy company will take all the flak for you if we receive a domain abuse report.

Before Initiating Your Transfer - Here's What You Should Know
- Review Your Domain Nameservers
You should review the nameservers set on your domain in your Chemicloud account before transferring it. If your domain is pointing to Chemicloud's nameservers, DNS queries will stop resolving when your domain is moved, and your website will experience downtime.
If they are set to a third-party provider (i.e., another web host), then you don't need to worry.To check the nameservers set in your Chemicloud account, log in with your name and password. Click 'Domains' in the left menu, enter Search for your domain in the left, and click 'Manage Domain' next to it.
Scroll down to the Manage field and review your domain's nameservers.
- Transferring Your Domain Doesn't Take Your Website Along
Your domain name and website are two different services. If you also want to move your website to Trustname or another web hosting provider, you would need to purchase a web hosting plan from the new host and, ideally, reach out to us.
We'll help you migrate your website conveniently. - Transfer Pricing And Policy
Trustname charges a base fee of $7.77 (with our promo code) to transfer your domain name to us,s but this adds an extra year to your domain name's current expiration date. - Transferring Expired Domains
You can transfer a domain only while it is active or during the grace period after it expires. If you didn't renew your domain during the Grace Period and it moves into the Redemption Period, you will need to renew it first with Chemicloud at an extra fee and wait for the ICANN 60 day lock to elapse.
You should transfer domains at least two weeks before they expire.
Prepare Your Domain At Chemicloud For The Transfer
Confirm The Domain's Transfer Eligibility
To adhere to ICANN regulations, you won't be able to transfer any domain name from Chemicloud until 60 days have passed since it was registered, since the last registrar transfer, registrant change, or change to the domain's contact details.
Confirm that your domain is at least 60 days old and hasn't had any registrant or registrar changes made in the last 60 days before proceeding with the transfer.
Unlock The Domain At Checmiclou.d
The Domain Lock is a basic security feature offered by most registrars, including Chemicloud, that prevents unauthorized transfers of your domain. To transfer it out, you need to disable the Domain Lock.
Don't worry, once your domain is with us at Trustname, we will automatically lock your domain.
