I paid for the transfer of a domain, why is the status 'pending'?
Find out if transferring a domain is an instant procedure.
Most gTLD domains (.com, .net, .org, etc.) require a period of 5-10 days to complete the transfer procedure. During this interval the registry checks and approves the details of the transfer, it cannot be avoided.
If an error occurs during this interval or the transfer is blocked, the client will be notified.
