How to dodge the 5 day transfer window at GoDaddy

[JMJ]

Just learned a new trick today. Some may know it some may not. Thought I would share either way. Godaddy doesn't mention this in their email. They just tell you how to cancel it.

To accept the transfer you may be asked to log in to your account. To safely log in:

1. Go to the GoDaddy.com home page and select "My Account."

2. Enter your log in name (or customer number) and password, then click "Secure Login."

3. Select "Pending Domain Transfers" from the list.

4. Select the transfer you wish to accept from the "Pending Domain Transfers" list, and click the box next to the domain name. The button "accept/decline" will show. Click it and the next screen says "accept transfer" check the box, click the button and you're done.

Takes a few seconds and you receive your transfer away confirmation.

That is a very nice feature GD offers and it would nice if ALL registrars would do it.

Some do it, but are tricky about it. eNom and NetSol I think you can "speed-up" the process as well but it's by clicking links.

Yeah it's very nice when you're waiting on a payment in escrow. I noticed the other day eNom transferred instantly after approving so got a bit curious to see if godaddy had a way.
