A Registrar Transfer is the process that occurs when the owner of a domain name wishes to move their domain name from their current Registrar into the control of a new Registrar. A name server is a computer that has the capability to translate, or resolve, the domain names we see and use in our browser windows into IP numbers. Name servers are most commonly provided by web hosts so a change in a web host generally results in the need to change/transfer name servers.
