Hello, all. My question is about transferring ownership of a domain. I'd
like to give a domain I own to another gandi user. When I attempt to do
this on the site, it wants to charge me $15. My question is, does this
involve increasing the amount of time the domain is registered for, or
is the charge solely for the change of ownership? If the latter, is
there any way to ever transfer ownership without paying a fee?

Thank you,

- Michael

Hi Michael,

If you transfer your domain to a new owner, the expiration date of your 
domain will become the actual expiration date + 1 year.
The registers automatically add 1 year at owner transfer, and it's 
include in price.

    AFAIK it's not true for all domain extensions, only some (it depends
on the registry, I think). Michael, you have to look in the specific Terms
and Conditions document for your extension (see
http://www.gandi.net/contracts).

Thank you for the help, Laura and Jonathan! Assuming that transfers from
another registrar work the same way as transfers between users, then
yes, the fee is for a one-year extension. Incidentally, it looks like
the same rules apply for the com, net, org, biz, and info, name TLDs.
