Recently tried to transfer domains using a .com promo. I was told I missed it. I was also told such promos are contingent on when that registrar meets the quota that Verisign has set up for .com, .net, & .org. It's not really the registrars fault they can't offer you deep discount on transfers all the time. It all boils down to when Verisign feels they have met their quota.
During this coronavirus pandemic many companies are showing they care about their customers and giving deep discounts. What about Verisign?
For more info you can go to the link below and sign the petition. Will they listen? will they drop the quota? Probably not. Just want to see if this works. Every bit helps yea? I'm here to help my fellow domainers get cheap transfer promos. But it MUST begin with Verisign.
There is no doubt things have change in the world. So why are domain registrations and domain transfers still the same?
So sign the petition today. I need 5 for it to show more on the Change.org website.
