discuss List of no transfer lock registrars

ICANN clearly allows for (60 day) transfer locks to be removed. Any registrar claiming differently is not familiar with the rules as set out by ICANN. Sadly, many registrars do not allow to opt out of a 60 day transfer lock. I am in a situation whereby the ICANN verification email delivery...

discuss List of no transfer lock registrars

Just wanted to chime in with Epik enforcing 60 day transfer lock and making me loose an important domain name sale. Their support sent a whole lot of BS claiming to copy ICANN rules, I referred them to the ICANN web site instead of their own web site, but they refuse nonetheless saying they can...

I could not find how to update my original post in order to add names to the list. Herewith the updated overview based on the comments so far. Some redacting took place to make quotes less long in a more comprehensible list. Would be nice in the original post to highlight this:

60 day transfer lock Namecheap

Roughly a week ago I moved to namecheap, and it is a nightmare situation. I've been more on the support chat then ever before, literally hours. I want to move away from namecheap, now, within the so called 60 day transfer lock period. Some registrars allow, others are complicated about it. Has...

Epik: Anti-competitive transfer practices, domain hostage taking, business arrogance

What you say is incorrect, as documented ad nauseam. The rest is shooting at the messenger. Thanks for the heads up they bought namepros competition, didn't know.

Epik: Anti-competitive transfer practices, domain hostage taking, business arrogance

Nice showing of the oldest trick in the book: when you can't deal with the message, focus attention elsewhere so the issue gets discredited and forgotten about. People complain about the topic title, about how little time I've been on NP, about ICANN, about how at another registrar it would be...

registrars GoDaddy terminating fast transfer inclusions over Afternic for any of Epik’s customers

No, you can not, regardless of changing any contact info (which there was not) and regardless of ICANN rules, Epik imposes a 60 days transfer lock upon transferring into Epik. You try to discredit the messenger instead of checking the message. In doing so you lead people into believing upon...

registrars GoDaddy terminating fast transfer inclusions over Afternic for any of Epik’s customers

NO! I used the transfer deal at Epik, then got contacted by a buyer for the domain. Lost the sale because Epik set a 60 day transfer out lock at transfer in. The buyer is king, and told me not wanting to have anything to do with Epik, so needed to transfer out to another registrar for the sale...

Epik: Anti-competitive transfer practices, domain hostage taking, business arrogance

Update: Epik did not release the domains after 5 days like they repeatedly confirmed they would. At day 6 still the domains had not transferred and were still blocked by Epik. I contacted Epik support who did not answer. On day 7 the domains were still at Epik... And then suddenly they were...
