Hi dears! I bought a domain on Godaddy and seems that i have to wait for 60 days before selling. My must i wait for such a long time? This is quite annoying. Could you please refer me to other registrars which would allow me to buy and sell domains right away?
Best,
Francis

But you'd have to get them to manually lift the 60-day lock if the buyer wants to transfer it to another registrar.

Great! Thanks @Addison a lot! So does it means this can also be done on Godaddy? (i mean "manually lift the 60 day lock"). I'm a starter in the business, so every tip is welcome :) i'm ready to become a student again and again to learn the most of things possible

Yes, all registrars can do it, but you'll run into more walls getting it done with them.

Save yourself the frustration of trying. :banghead:

Any reputable domain registrar has a "push" function. The 60-day hold is only for transfers OUT to another registrar. A "push" means it is transferred to the buyer's account at the registrar where the domain was registered.

So as an example, if you have a domain registered at, say, NameCheap, but your 60-day transfer hold is not over yet, you can still sell the domain, and then push it to the buyer's Namecheap account. If your buyers doesn't have a namecheap account, then they have to create one before you can push it to them.

After you push the domain to them, if they want to transfer it out of Namecheap to another registrar, that is their business & responsibility but they will have to wait until the 60-day hold is over.

If they need help on how to transfer out, that really isn't your concern but you can help them if you are so inclined. I would only suggest this if you sold a domain for a high value to an end-user that isn't familiar with domain processes, especially if you have good reason to believe that buyer could possibly buy more domains from you in the future.

Otherwise, don't get involved in a transfer processes and just push domains to your buyers instead, even if the 60-day hold is over. Transfers are really the owner's/buyer's responsibility. Besides, their new registrar they are moving to will likely help them with the transfer since they are gaining new business, if they ask support to help. This is assuming they are transferring to a reputable registrar. But again, this is none of your concern, really.

3 registrars that I have used in the past 10 years who allow for pushing are...

- NameCheap

- NameSilo (coupon code NP1OFF for $1 off you first order)

All registrars can do it, but their willingness to do it will depend on you reaching the right person and your relationship with that registrar/CSR. If they don't know you well, then they aren't going to risk it. The lock is imperative as a security measure to thwart stolen domains from being transferred to another registrar where the losing registrar wouldn't be able to recover it for their customer that had it stolen. That is less of a concern with newly-registered domains (albeit, still a possibility), but some registrars' CSR's aren't going to bother confirming that the domain isn't stolen unless you have spent a sufficient amount of money with them. It has to be worth their time and low risk.
