Enom Question

Discussion in 'Domain Names' started by primster7, Apr 17, 2007.

    Hello,


    I purchased a domain off of tdnam and thought that the guy had it with godaddy.com. He doesn't and it's with Enom. I went to their website and it appears to transfer it to Godaddy it will be $29.95. Is there a way around this... You know a cheaper route to go?


    Any help would be appreciated.


    Thanks!

    At Enom, you can also configure your domain and same as godaddy. Why spend money for transfer?

    Normally, a transfer extends the domain's expiry date to 1 full year so you don't actually lose money unless there's extra charges involved.
    Does eNom charge you to transfer a domain away? That service should be free at a reputable registrar.

    Because it looks like the renewals are $20+ per year.

    Why don't you keep it @ Enom until close to expiry, then transfer out to Godaddy if you don't wanna pay the extra fee now?

    It doesn't really matter when you do the transfer since Godaddy will extend the expiry date with 1 full year anyway.

    Yep, but I think that the OP didn't want to pay it now

    Enom does almost all it's business thru its resellers who sell domains for $8-9. Enom charges $28 to customers it deals with directly so it doesn't compete with its resellers. Even though the WHOIS says Enom the domain is likely thru a reseller so you will be paying $8-9.
    Open an account thru an Enom reseller (ie namezoom.com) and have the seller push from his Enom account to yours. (i believe there is no fee to move domains between Enom accounts). If you are moving the name from Enom to Godaddy you pay GoDaddy's $6.95 transfer fee not Enom's.

    You are not stuck at Enom. It only costs Godaddy's $6.95 fee to transfer to Godaddy.

    Yes, that's pretty much about the $6,95 transfer fee you have to pay at Godaddy.
    Unless eNom charges anything to transfer domains away from them which I haven't heard of.
