How long does unlocking a domain take at NS: 1 minute or more,
click on unlock, wait until the next page loads, and click submit,
and wait wait wait,.. maybe someday it will be unlocked.
This is just 1 byte of data change, why waste so much time.
How much time does getting authcode take:
1 hour.
They don't show authcode.
click send email.
wait for the next page (takes time).
approve send email. wait again.
check your email.
it is not there.
wait.
still not there, not in spam either.
they just didn't send it.
try again and again and again.
impossible.
contact customer service.
they say , in that case use CSV.
try to download CSV.
Computer freezes.
Turn computer off by FORCE (push on/off button for 10 seconds).
Try again by turning JS off.
It doesn't work.
turn JS on, click on CSV,
but immediately disconnect.
maybe before they can run their freezeware you can download it.
yes, by accident you can be successful, but make sure you close NS window before
reconnecting internet.
Then try to transfer domain, try various text editors, none of them is great.
Need to use at least two.
You may copy-paste authcode but it may just not work,
and you will wonder whether it is about NS, or your office program/text editor.
if you are lucky you can start transfer out after 1 hour.
We understand they hate transfer out.
But we hate transfer blocking as well.
Namesilo was my number 1 choice 3 years ago.
Now it is not in top 3.
Only in one sense it is still number 1: dns templates.
Initially their homepage was great. they redisgned it and made it awful.
search for a domain,.. somewhere in the crowd maybe you can find a text saying
"try to buy".
But not just design, but also their scripts became very bad.
