Free Push?

[kiplarson]

What does free push mean? I've seen it in a few descriptions. I assume it means free transfer?

Yes, a push means that the owner pushes (aka tranfers) the domain from their account to yours and you become the new owner.

With a push it also means that the domain stays at the current registrar -- the new owner would sign up for an account there and the old owner "pushes" it into the new account. Pushes are much more common than transfers to other registrars because other registrars usually charge a fee to transfer in, and transferring is sometimes a hassle. (A push is really easy.)

push - change domain owner within the same registrar
transfer - change domain to different registrar
