Question about domain expiry and transfer (alien.top)

Hey all

I have a domain expiring on 26th of this month with namesilo. I'm in process of transferring over to spaceship for cheapest com prices. However apparently this won't be done until 28th now. Do I also need to renew on namesilo or is this all good?

Just for future reference, there’s no need to wait until expiration to move to a new registrar. The new registrar is required to honor the time left on your current registration. I’ve moved domains with years left and no issue.

Spaceship may be the cheapest but ask yourself how reliable they are. A relatively new/unknown registrar (yeah I know, Namecheap)- will they be around long-term?
