What is the difference between push and auth transfer?

 

[omnia]

Push is where domain is moved to a new account holder at the same registrar. Transfer (auth code) is where domain moves to an account at a different registrar

What is the difference between push and auth transfer?

A push is a domain transfer between accounts at the same registrar. An auth transfer is from one registrar to another.

For example, you could push a domain from your GoDaddy account to another persons account at GoDaddy, but you would need the auth code to transfer a domain from GoDaddy to Namecheap.

What transfer mode would you suggest in terms of selling a newly registered domain instantly hassle-free? Push or Auth?

What transfer mode would you suggest in terms of selling a newly registered domain instantly hassle-free? Push or Auth?

A push would be the easiest. Usually there is a 60 day lock on new domains that would prevent a transfer(Auth code) to a different registrar.
