I have 2 questions about GoDaddy?

[Name Trader]

1) Is it possible to receive a push of a domain from another GoDaddy member without adding a 60 Day hold. I remember doing this in the past, but don't recall how I did this. Is this still possible? How to do this? @Joe Styler

2) Does GoDaddy have any sales of NGTLD's (expiring or members sales)? I've tried many times to use their search form (the one with all the tick boxes), but I always fail to find any NGTLD's for sale. What am I doing wrong?

 

[DanSanchez]

1. Yes, but this also means the previous owner will receive the auth-code when requested and other notifications from Godaddy. Operate at your own risk there.

2. Have you tried searching in expireddomains? I'm a .com maximalist, so haven't actually tried myself.

1. Auth Code and move is the only way I know of. Which is the way I would go, I am not a fan of godaddy. I transfered to Namecheap in under one hour away from godaddy which was amazing timing.
2.not sure about search for specific stuff on auctions.

@Dan Sanchez

I assume your answer to 1) is no it's not possible. I would not want to impose any lingering obligations on the seller. I'm sure I used to do this.

Yes. I've tried that or 2), but I never find any NGTLD's for sale

I'm not a fan of GoDaddy either. Of course I'm talking about buying domains which are less than 60 days old at GoDaddy. Even if its 59 days old they add another 60 day hold on the transfer (of course in a case like this I can wait another day and transfer out, but it's the principal I'm talking about). They just add another 60 day hold to every transfer.

 

[DanSanchez]

Your options are limited, you can:

1. have the seller hold on to the domain until day 60.
2. Push the domain without changing the seller's email. Ask them for the auth code prior to sale to avoid further contact.
3. Appeal to godaddy after push and email change to review60@godaddy .com - they will sometimes remove the lock if you are trusted and the previous owner is not prone to fraud.​

@stub When you push to another godaddy account you will receive a review and approve email for registrant change during this process there is a lock or unlock choice for the 60 day

 

[NickB]

I think you can ask them to remove the transfer lock......not sure if they still do it or not

OK. I have found some expiring NGTLD's, for the first time. Was this search broken previously? OK. There were on EXPIRING NGTLD's. So it seems GoDaddy don't auction off EXPIRED NGTLD's.

 

[Kostas]

As far as I knew they didn't auction expired new gtlds, @stub can you mention a couple of what you found to verify that this is not the case any more?
On their market, only new gtlds with regular renewals are allowed to be listed for sale but in most cases these are listed for end-user prices by domainers.

The problem with that is that with the registrant change the domain is locked for another 60 days, even if it has already been locked for 59 days prior to that.

You are correct. The ones I saw were all make offer .club domains, and a couple of $1 bin .red domains

 

[DnFolk]

you can avoid 60 day lock if you change only email id. To do this first accept the domain in your GD account with past owner details then in your dashboard update contact information and edit only email id. If you change anything else then 60 days lock will apply.

That sounds like a possibility. I'll try that next time. Thank you.

I tried review60. They said the 60 day lock was imposed by ICANN and there was nothing they could do about it. Which I know is not true, because review60 have done this for me in the past. @Joe Styler

 

[Joe Styler]

It is an ICANN lock now. We give you the choice at the time of setting up the account change, by whoever is initiating the domain from their account, to choose either to send it with or without the lock. It is important to note that the lock and therefore lock option on the change only apply when there is a change of registrant on the domain at the time of the account change. If there is no WHOIS update there is no lock. The lock revolves around changes to the ICANN change of registrant mandated process which was put in place I think two years back. (off the top of my head so take it with a grain of salt).

When accepting the domain by the gaining shopper, they will be able to see, but not change the choice the initial sender picked for the resistant contact and the lock status. So if the person sending the domain picked to lock it you will see that on the acceptance screen. If they pick not to lock it you will see the on the acceptance screen. Once you click accept it is a done deal and ICANN will not let us change that choice. If you are the gaining party and you see a lock on the acceptance screen you have to reject the change and have the person initiating it re-send it without the lock selected.

Oh and on the other question we don't sell expired nGTLDs as a general rule.

if change domain info details minus email, trapped for 60

Stop citing “ICANN lock” policy. you’re the only one who does. Nothing u can do, except keep the info, sans email

Confirm any plans to change this, @Joe Styler?

What makes it even worse, you hold such large market, 60 day lock kills liquidity, more than helps, “security” lol.
i’m not asking much... ever fixing GD push? make simple Gd pushes are bigger hindrance,than the 5 day transfer..

Sigh... In theory it's possible to avoid the lock. Last time I received a bunch of domains the approval page said the sender opted out yet all domains got locked. Support was clueless. It's a 50/50 chance of getting it right.

What works best in my experience is requesting the sender to leave registrant info intact and than change the details yourself after it is pushed to your account.

This way you will receive a notice to approve the new registrant and option to opt out of the 60 days lock yourself.

I recently sold GoDaddy-regged domain @ Sedo, and, to my surprise, instead of asking me to push the domain to their account (as Sedo normally does, at least with other registrars), Sedo instructed me to unlock the domain and submit authcode, which was then given to the buyer to start the transfer to their preferred registrar. No issues, all confirmed and closed (with the exception that the buyer waited 5 days, my expedited transfer-approval was never processed by GoDaddy). So Sedo (and they sell a lot) must have found that GoDaddy push is a BIG NO nowadays...

Hi Joe. Happy New Year.

So is there any confusion about this from the senders point of view? Do they get asked specifically if they want to send the domain to the buyer with or without a new 60 day lock? To which is either a Y/N reply. I've known in the past, that GoDaddy have been very unclear in their instructions. Do you clearly tell them that sending without a lock keeps the same whois info, and sending with a new 60 day lock requires a change of registrant. Or do you also give them another (superfluous) question whether they want to send the the domain with a change of registrant. Is it possible to answer N to sending with a new 60 day lock and answer the superfluous question with a Y, which would cause a conflict, and the sender has to start over, confused and thinking hard? I guess I'm asking what terminology we should give to the seller, asking them to not agree to a change of registrant when they transfer the domain (like what boxes they have to fill/complete).

If the domain is sent properly, without a change of registrant, when the domain is in our account, can we change the email address without the domain being locked again for 60 days? So the domain is sitting in our account with the old whois info but with a new email account. What email do you use to send the requested auth code to? The registrant email, or some email account associated with the current owner or the previous owner? I'm not clear about this, hence the question. Because, if the domain is less than 60 days old, there will be some balance of this original 60 day hold remaining, and I'd like the transfer the domain out, as soon as the domain is free from that original lock.

@stub

Auth codes are sent to the administrative contact listed on the registrant details.

If you don't change anything else besides the administrative contact email there should never occur a 60 days lock.

This should apply to any registrar as it doesn't create a whois change. Anybody with different experience correct me if I'm wrong.

At GoDaddy you can also download a csv containing all domains and info including the auth codes. It's under the export button somewhere in the domain manager.

Their 60 day opt out is pretty straight forward. They warn specifically about the lock once you initiate a push.

The email you'll receive to approve has 2 clear options (you will have to check one of the radio buttons) to either lock or opt-out.

The email to approve and opt out will be sent to the losing GD account email address. So if you push a domain without a change of registrant you can make sure to opt out yourself.

Mostly. Well probably always. This will be a one-way transfer to me. I just want to make sure to tell the pusher, that they "should opt out of the lock" to initiate the transfer, and should do what about the approving email from GoDaddy "approve or disapprove" (I guess it depends on the wording of the email). Is this a clean and tidy way to instruction the pusher to push the domain without a change of registrant? Then, when the domain is in my account, I change the Registrant email address (could I change all the email addresses? or will that trigger a lock?), and I will be able to transfer the domain, when the original lock expires when the domain is 60 days old.

As you can see. I'm rather rusty with these pushes from GoDaddy, which is usually because I don't buy domains which cannot be transferred out GoDaddy, as a general rule. But sometimes, very rarely, I want the domain so much I have to buy it when it's locked. And I don't want to add a further 60 days to the lock. Which has happened 2 times now in the last 2 months.

I know the feeling. It's annoying when you want to transfer out right away after the push.

Instruct the seller to push the domain and leave the registrant intact by checking yes on this screen they should be presented with:

After the push is initiated you will get an email to accept.

Once you follow the link in the mail there is a form that will let you edit whois details. Don't.

At the top of the form there's an option saying something like; approve without review.

Pick this option, the domain should enter your account almost instant.

Once the domain is in your account you can edit all registrant details as you like from the dashboard. As soon as you do so it will make you acknowledge there may be a 60 day lock. Don't worry and agree.

Now, right after you will receive a couple of emails to confirm the owner change. Follow the links and only accept the registrant change where the form gives you the option to opt out of the lock. I usually get 3 or 4 mails. At least one includes the opt out option.

The issue is, if you accidentally accept the owner change through one of the mail's that doesn't give you the opt out option it'll get locked.

This method worked for me on my past pushes. I was fed up with getting locked as well.

I'm on mobile right now but might have some additional screens saved on my workstation that I could post tonight if that's of any help.

Understand the first part. Just to be clear. This is only changing the registrant email. Not any other of the Registrant info or any other of the contacts? Correct?

Do the emails requesting confirmation of the ownership change, indicate which one gives the option to opt out? Or do you have to click on each email and go to GoDaddy, so you can see the opt out option before selecting it and save?
