Domain transfers
on April 8th, 2007 - UncategorizedAdd comments
Ever try and bulk transfer Domain Names? I just did. I have a dozen Register.com domains I wanted to move to GoDaddy.com. I entered the domains on GoDaddy, without problem. Hit Enter.
Then the shit hit the fan - I got so many emails from both GoDaddy and Register.com that I have no clue what to do next. I think I got a total of 36 messages after trying this.
Unreal. Why is it this complex?

Oh - but even though nothing has been transferred yet, GoDaddy charged me almost a hundred dollars already. Sheesh.

Well, domain transfers CAN be tricky and require some time, because it’s a 3-party deal with quite some protocol involved:

Why didn’t you transfer them to 1and1, which I mentioned to you earlier?
They’re cheaper and have great service:

I transfered them to GoDaddy because I already had a few dozen domains on GoDaddy - and at ~$6.00 domain to transfer I wanted to move as few possible, yet get them all in one place to simplify management. And I couldn’t find a way to transfer domains at 1and1 - but GoDaddy has it prominently displayed.

This is actually even harder than it looks at first - for each domain I want to transfer I have to call Register.com and get an Authorization number. Each request elicits a hard sell not to move the domain. *sigh*

You want me to issue a fatwa on register.com?

Hah - no, they’ve been pretty decent about it. But feel free to issue a Fatwa on the IRS!
