No – iiNet has not been acquired. iiNet has decided to cease offering digital services such as domain names and website hosting.
Domain transfers take 2-5 business days from when you accept the confirmation email sent to the email address linked to the domain.
Only domains ending in .au are free to transfer; they will retain their current expiry. Other domains will incur a fee to transfer over, but the payment will add another year to their existing expiry.
Yes, let our expert team move your websites, files and emails across to our network, free of charge and with no downtime at all.
