Please Recommend Registrar for .EU quarantine transfer

[bulkdomainz]

Hi everyone, I have some .EU domain names that expired a couple of days ago that I would like to renew/retain.

Could you recommend any registrar that can initiate a transfer from quarantine. Current registrar is very very greedy to say the least . . .

Thanks.

A registrar transfer from quarantaine is not cheap. Usually it is cheaper to have the current Registrar to restore the domains from quarantaine..

Unless indeed they charge an arm and a leg.

Actually Godaddy is the current registrar and was asking $99 for per domain name less than 24 hours after expiry. The card I registered for those 4 domain names had expired and I just never saw the two emails sent. For very strange reasons, the domains were not available in the 'recover expired domains' area less than 24 hours after expiry. They had passed them to a 'special' department that requires $99 to recover each domain name. If that is not greedy, I don't know what is. I'd spend the $400they are asking for on more exciting domain names on NamePros..

@realtimeregister : Any idea what it'd cost to recover from quarantine through another registrar? I have registrar names from eurid but want to know if anyone in the house had done this before . . .

Here are the fees that apply to registrars:

Transferring a name that is in quarantine costs €9, more than double regfee but still affordable.
$99 is rip-off.

Thank you so much,sdsinc. I knew I'd get valuable information from NamePros members.
