advice Afternic Fast-Transfer

[Pratt]

So, I'm not receiving any emails from Afternic to opt-in for Fast Transfer. Is there any way I can do it manually? When I started I did receive to opt-in for Fast Transfer but that was it. I receive dit for 2-3 domains only. I have around 25+ domains there how I can opt-in for a fast transfer there? Do help.

Transfer lock period starts after the transfer is completed. Transfer alone takes 5-7 to complete if the losing registrar doesn't offer instant approval to the domain owner. Many registrars don't offer instant approval to outgoing transfers. So the actual time for a transfer to complete is 65-67 days. It's way too much time. All of these should be completed in 7 days in my opinion. 60 days transfer lock period works as a tool to discourage people to transfer their domains.

the whole concept doesn't make snense though, it's not profitable.

yes 60 days is just unacceptable, and wonder what's the reason behind 60 days lock period?

As almost none of the domain owners is happy with waiting for 65-67 days, it seems like a request of registrars from ICAAN. Because making transfers more difficult or less preferable, all registrars can operate in a less competitive industry. Loss of domain owners is profit of registrars.

Do you have to turn transfer lock off for your domain names to make them eligible for FT?
