Godaddy's my hero

Thanks for the links, I have started 1 transfer to see
how it turns out. Never got asked for the auth code though, are
they bypassing that action?

Currently showing at Godaddy as "pending whois verification"
[crosses fingers] I'll let you know how it turns out.



tried to rep
"We're glad that you're fond of this member, but please give some rep points to some other members before giving it to david.amherst again."
Apparently I have done so already recently :D

nice to know. What does the "one time price" mean?

 

[accent]

"one time price" means the price will not always be there. He pays $6.25 per year, so he is taking a loss on .com (considering his overhead) to hopefully gain customers.

* means plus 25 cents - Only Godaddy separates the ICANN fee, all other registrars just include it.

that's good news for Registerfly customers.

UPDATE: On Feb 27th received an email from Godaddy requesting
AUTH code, so went to registerfly and got it, then submitted it
to Godaddy.
Feb 28th: Current status in Godaddy is "pending current registrar approval"

Whois has been updated to "pending transfer"

So far so good....just waiting on good old registerfly now to approve it!

I'll post when complete

UPDATE: Feb 28th I received an accept/decline transfer confirmation
from registerfly, so I accepted the transfer and they confirmed where
it was going.
So now just waiting to see it in godaddy panel.
I'm surprised at how quickly (so far) it has proceeded.
[still have fingers crossed]

 

[vslevin]

I'm glad that you're having success (not yet, but it sounds like you're getting there) getting your domain(s) out of RF. Fortunately, I don't have any domains over there, but it sounds like a real disaster for those who do.

 

[mis_chiff]

FINAL UPDATE: WOW!!! That was fast! It has successfully transfered to Godaddy!
It is in my list there and whois shows godaddy's servers ...woohoo!

That was 1, now I have to decide what to do with the other 7
Let them drop or transfer renew.
At least I got the one out that I really wanted.

So transfers are currently working :D

I knew it was a matter of time before people started to assist those RegisterFly customers Glad to see MyDomains (Whos that..?) and Bob lending a helping hand!

I transferred a load of my domains with this coupon

 

[Lasher]

I hear Registerfly customers are used to finding their domains unaccessible for the slightest reason and transferred to others based on extremely flimsy policies. After the last couple of months they should also be quite comfortable with the idea of a domain being locked for 60 days just because they fixed a typo in their contact name.

Yep, all in all, registerfly customers should feel right at home at GoDaddy

Wow Lasher, that was kind of mean
I have over 400 domains registared with GD and have not had one problem. I need tech support, they pick up the phone. I accidently reg the wrong domain, they refund my money. I think GD is a great registrar.

leaving it with insufficient funds to pay VeriSign and other registries, for new domain name registrations and renewals.

Why doesn't registerfly pay when we pay?
I thought they just get a %
If we renew for 5 years, the registrar only renews for one year and waits 12 months to renew for another year?
