When you transfer an existing site to us, or move a site from us (this doesn’t happen often), there is work involved, whether it’s packaging up files or sorting through someone else’s files. Perhaps it is moving a domain from one registrar to another or talking and emailing your Uncle Ted, the only one who is not technologically challenged in your family. All that adds up to time, usually more than we charge, but the $75 transfer fee helps to cover our time with those calls, emails and misc work to get you up and running.
