Wow... Netfirms is even worse that Dotster! You create an account or start a transfer unless you buy domains or hosting first... if you go to "create account" in their sitemap you get a 404 error... and when you agree to buy and fill in all of your credit card info their processing page gets a 501 error! hahahaha!

Be careful, both sites are using the same platform. They also add unwanted hosting account. Free for the first year then auto renewed if not deactivated.

Yeah, better unchecked that before adding a lot of names to your cart as it take about 40 seconds per domain to remove the privacy.

 

[Manik]

Can you transfer from Dotster to Netfirms?

Absolutely agree. It wastes too much time and effort

I don't know why .net transfers are not working. It goes to a blank page. I should have transferred all my .nets back in Sept when it was working.

 

[DomainZombie]

most likely it has been "disabled"

 

[CamMK27]

I am not sure why. Even during the regular price period the transfers for .net are not working. I could have saved ton of money back in Sept and prior to that there was a sale every 2-3 week and all the time transfers were working.

New 20% off coupon - TODAY20. Sale ends tonight at 11:59 p.m. Pacific.

I have managed to register 5 .com domains for $1.39 each using coupon Mammoth. But what concerns me is that Netfirms have no domain push function. Therefore, when you want to move a domain you have to contact their support first to assist you. It's time consuming and a little bit complicated the way I see it.

 

[onewordonly]

how do you Transfer, there is no way to transfer from what I can see?

To transfer a name:

1.Go to live chat
2. Ask to remove the name from your account
3.New owner add the name to his account

It's easy as you can see.

You only have to wait for live support. Continue doing what you are doing while waiting for support.

It doesn't bother me at all

but for how long will this method work for?

According to Chat Support it is an offical policy, at least for the time being.

DGWRX: I have noticed that the option to move (push) the domains between NetFirms accounts is
gone from the domain manager. How can I push them now into another persons account?
DGWRX: I may have a buyer for one of my domains...
NETFIRMS: Yes. We have seen several fraudalent activities using this option. Thus, we have removed this option.
DGWRX: So what's the process now?
NETFIRMS: You can contact us so that we can move the domains for you.
DGWRX: what information is required? the person's NetFirms' account username? is that sufficent?
NETFIRMS Yes. We will need the account username and answer to the Security Question.
NETFIRMS: We can also remove the domain from this account, so that you can later add in the other account.
DGWRX: aha, got it. Thanks.
DGWRX: That will be all.

Wasn't manual transfers their official policy once upon a time?

 

[Domain Classics]

Wasn't manual transfers their official policy once upon a time?

Yes it was!

My guess is people were running concurrent accounts to maximize the number of cheap .COMs and .NETs they can register without scritiny and then consolidating them into a single account and ruined it for the rest of us.

Personally, I don't feel at ease removing the domain from account (where is it then, in limbo?), I feel something could go wrong. I'll probably ask my buyers for the security answer.
