How to transfer my domain to GoDaddy !!!

[sammy1531]

Hi everyone,

I won a .com domain at Dynadot.com from the expired auction now the website is up and running but I need to shift from dynadot to godaddy. How can I do that, its a 13 years old domain, is it bound to the 60 days rule ?

Your help is higly appreciated.

Not if it's registered at Dynadot. But be wary transferring after 45 days of renewal and you will not get a year added to your registration at GoDaddy. You need to ask Dynadot for the refund.

Here are the details on whois

Registrar: DYNADOT, LLC
Whois Server: whois.dynadot.com
Referral URL: http://www.dynadot.com
Name Server: NS1.DYNADOT.COM
Name Server: NS2.DYNADOT.COM
Status: clientTransferProhibited
Updated Date: 30-jun-2013
Creation Date: 01-may-2000
Expiration Date: 01-may-2014

So this cant be transferred ?

Yes it can be transferred. But I would wait 45 days after the renewal date if you want another year added to the expiry without any hassle.

I am pretty sure when you win name via expired auction at dynadot, they do lock name. But not sure for how long. I think it is 30 days.

This is what I explained by PM to somebody, who asked if this was in fact true or not. I thought it was worthy of posting here.

This is at every Registrar, although there may be a few who ignore it and add the year. It's in the ICANN rules (somewhere). If you transfer a domain within 45 days of it being renewed, the receiving registrar will not add another year of renewal. Meaning you have paid twice and only received 1 renewal. You have to go back to the old Registrar to get your refund. You can easily miss this not adding another year because you automatically assume it's been added with the transfer. I only notice it at Dynadot because I'm always transferring domain to Dynadot. Some Registrars I've received a refund, some I haven't, and some I just never bothered to ask for a refund. I don't remember which ones do and which ones don't pay up. I've particularly noticed it with domains won at SnapNames. I like to transfer these ASAP to Dynadot. I believe also it is why eNom place an Auction Lock on domains won at NameJet.

Yep the auction lock is removed anyhow I am not selling the domain name, The website is already up and running.
