Hi all, I have booked a domain name with yahoo, Long back. Now i would like to transfer the domain to different registrar. I did a full search through out help for domain transfer. Help is not available. I never had good experience in yahoo hosting. Some how the interfaces are very cumbersome. Main reason to move out is price and ridiculous interface. Fellas who experienced this before help me.

Hi, I have posted this who is Record that might help you in transfer..... Let me explin you what you have to do domain must be trnsfer with a month of due date and i see that your domain ... Expiration Date:03-Jun-2009 Did you register domain from same yahoo . i mean your hosting is form yahoo but i am not sure that your domain is also registered from yahoo or not... you must ask yahoo to unlock your domain and ask the EPP code , ( its used for .com etc ) but i am not sure its same for regional domain... but there must be some transfer code .... so get that code from them and transfer your domain before it expires... if domain is not register from yahoo you dont need to be worry ... just cotact your domain registerar and buy new hosting from somewhere and update name server only
or domain is registered from yahoo. in domain options find the option to unlock domain then generate its transfer code and then transfer it with some new company.....
Help link says, Yahoo is using melbourne IT as registrar. I have unlocked my domain. But i couldn't find transfer or auth/transfer code. How to generate transfer code ?
we are using webnic.cc in that we have option where it doesnt display code but email it to the email address which is used at the time of register... so find some option where you have to click then you will get the code by email.... make sure in your whois the email address is given valid.... if its not first update a valid email address
I have transferred domains from Yahoo before. Its a bit complicated if you are not aware of what you are doing. Fortunately there is a guide online on transferring domains from Yahoo: http://blog.enrii.com/2008/10/31/transferred-expired-domain-name-from-yahoo-to-godaddy/ Read the above blog post, just substitute "GoDaddy" with any registrar of your preference. It should work.
i was holding a domain with yahoo & i have trasferred it sucessfully. i found a link for generating auth code i agree with kumarsaran about the yahoo's interface, its not user friendly, not a commonly used navigation method so as to recollect how i did it. better contact them directly, they have some indian branches. They may solve your problem in a day or two.
I recommand u to transfer u r domains to eithe dynadot.com or name.com dont transfer to godaddy.com Godaddy suxx ...
why chetan?? wat was the problem you were facing with Godaddy? wats the benefit going to dynadot.com or name.com?
Few Godaddy problem 1. It need Paypal account with credit card added to renew domains 2. SLOW website, if i am opening Godaddy.com from any slow internet connection then just forgot to change settings. 3. Slow DNS penetrations. 4. few horror stories like domain stealing !!
i accept chetan its very well true. i too have faced the first three problem but about the 4th, am not aware of.
Link is very useful. I have initiated my transfer. I will keep you posted in the progress.. Thanks to all of you
Be thankful it's not at register.com they don't like to let domains go. They're attached to that $35 a year. Took a week of being on hold and getting the run around to get domains transferred out of there. They make you call.
