I have a domain at NameCheap with WhoisGuard. Do I have to disable WhoisGuard in order to transfer to a different registrar? Otherwise the receiving registrar will copy my WhoisGuard info & email -which will no longer be valid. Is it necessary to 'decloak' when changing registrars?
I've personally handled numerous failed transfers because of exactly what you described. Thus, it's "wise" to remove the WHOIS privacy to ensure the move proceeds with little to no problems.
i had this question in mind and was gonna ask it..because i am not much of a domain expert..i was wondering what happens when we try to transfer a domain with privacy or whoisguard..
I thought so. In that case I'll renew at NameCheap instead of risking whois.sc visiting and archiving during a transfer.
