Transfer of 1and1 domains?

[yann]

HI,

In the near future i plan to sell domains that i have at 1&1 registrar.

If someone here have experience with them, please let me know:

What is the easiest way to transfer a 1&1 domain to another registrar? Any fees or issues to expect?

Thanks,

If the domain is a .com or a .net I don't think you should have too much trouble. I transfered a .com and a .net from 1and1 to domainsite last week and it went very smoothly. Initiate the transfer from the registrar that will be acquiring the name and don't forget to unlock your domain at 1and1.

If it's not a .com or .net then you will need to contact 1and1 for an authorization code. Dealing with their customer service may prove frustrating. I haven't had to do it yet but the stories I hear make me fear that day.

Good luck.

So when I sell someone should intiate a transfer from their registrar and then I will be able to approve the transfer and it will go smoothly?

Never reg a domain at 1and1 again. Shocking customer service in my view. I tried to transfer a .co.uk to a buyer but i couldn't making me loose a healthy profit....anyway.....hiphip.co.uk available to buy again!

if you are even 1.1% serious about the selling of domain names then do not use 1+1 to register your portfolio unless you think that pissing on your own shoes is a good way to keep them clean, in which case go ahead

My first test with transferring a .com domain out of 1and1: I'm now into day three of waiting for them to approve the transfer.

I just transferred a domain out of my Wild West Domains site (a reg fee renewal tfr, not a push): it took 35 minutes to fully complete the transfer.
