GoDaddy Account Push Issues

[Soofi]

Is anybody facing Godaddy Account Push Issues?

Kindly advise as most of us have been facing trouble while pushing a domain name to another user at GD!

 

[Soofi]

Sorry. I have been tagged and PM'd a lot over the weekend. I had a few pages of stuff to work through and am trying to answer them all.

We dont blame you Joe. We are glad though that you are always around, supporting everyone

Are people still having godaddy push issues?

 

[ozzo7]

Yes, I am.

 

[Soofi]

Yes, I am.

What issue are you facing my friend?

 

[ozzo7]

I get the following error when I click on the email to accept the push...

"There was an error processing your request. Please try again. If the error continues contact support at 480-505-8877."

I tried to contact support, but they were busy each time.

Simply login to your account and accept push. Ignore email for now!

Yes I think that may work.

GoDaddy support helped me solve the problem. The email link didn't work, but going to https://dcc.godaddy.com/transfers/in allowed me to accept the push and change the contact details.

Congrats!

Hey Stub...I'm curious about your sig, why do you dislike GD account push domains? Did you have a bad experience or get scammed?

Just to clarify...
If I am trying to push a GD domain to another GD account...
Where it asks: Do you want to copy the current domain contact information to the new account?
I should say 'Yes'?
I do NOT want to activate the 60-day registrar lock.
Then, does the recipient need to log in and accept the transfer in?

I don't know why I am receiving an email to activate the domain when i am the one pushing it out...

Thanks

Please read my post on the first page.

Please read my post on the first page.

So 80% of the pushes have become locked or didn't work at all...Can I ask which method of pushing you used? These are the two ways I know how to do a GD to GD push.

1) From the Domain Control Center, aka "manage all" you click on the domain name and then scroll down to Additional Setttings and select "Transfer domain to another GoDaddy account" help

2) From the Domain Control Center, aka "manage all" you select the domain by checking the box next to the domain name (not clicking on the domain), and then in the navigation menu hover over the more link then select "Begin Account Change"

Which of these processes (or another?) did you normally use to do your GD to GD push?

I'm asking because it seems like these two processes work differently, even though they are supposed to do the same thing, and I'm wondering which you used when experiencing issues.

@convertcontent - I cannot say for sure because it is not me doing the pushing. but from the confused responses from the pushers, to this question, they don't know what they are doing, because GD instructions are so ambiguous.

Actually. I believe GoDaddy have got their knickers in a twist with these pushes. All pushes should be pushed without a fresh 60 day hold, and with the change of whois registrant. Just like every other registrar on the planet.

I'm not saying GoDaddy is perfect, and I also agree about the 60 day hold, but one solution for you is to simply give the seller specific instructions like "Hey, please make sure you use these exact instructions to perform the push." A few minutes of upfront working putting together a template you use for all deals would go a long way.

It sounds like you'd had some really bad luck because the ratio of issues you've had just seems overly high.

I guess another solution would be to simply use multiple registrars and always make sure you're transferring the domain out instead of using a push, which you can accomplish by using just two different registrars.

In this day and age, it seems crazy to have to live by any restrictions for your business since each registrar without a doubt has a domain pushing process that works the majority of the time. 80% failed pushes doesn't seem like a problem with the platform.

I have the same problem last week and took me 5 days to push the domain... still don’t know why I was receiving all this emails, when I was the seller ....

Select "do not change details" or something similar. There are options to keep DNS records unchange or to use the details from the specified account. Push without changing the details and ask the new owner to change them later.

I think changing the account details later will mean another round of confirmation from old/new owner later? What mess requiring two seperate lots of confirmation, godaddy own tutorial isn't accurate either.

Anybody lose a buyer over it.

Don't you think I already give them specific instructions? I do. Do you think anybody pays any attention? Not many. Coupled with the fact the rules for a push keep changing, and GoDaddy's ambiguity. Remember. I'm only accepting a push as a last resort. Which is why there are not many. I don't think it is practical to create a template, with the rules keep changing. I have to create a fresh template for every push. It is just not worth the effort. So my template to the seller, says things like, never accept a push from a GoDaddy email (because that will only guarantee the push takes 5 days and may/will incur another 60 day lock). But they still do it.

Nope. the solution, is for GD to make this push easier. 1 set of rules only. Rules that are not constantly changing. Rules that are clear and are not ambiguous. Where a push is without a fresh 60 day hold, and with the change of whois registrant. Just like every other registrar on the planet.
