Well, I am thinking of buying a domain with a PR 2. so exactly what do I get from the vendor? except the domain name and the pr (of course) or what's the exact steps of transfering the domain? the vendor is supposed to transfer the domain to my account but how exactly? do I have to have an account with the register with the vendor registered the domain always?
Yes you will have to have an account with the Domain vendor! Also there will be a key which the seller will give you so that the Domain transfer takes place.
in 2 ways he can transfer push if u have/want domain in same registrar or u can transfer that domain using epp/auth code of that domain to your preferred choice of registrar
I think it would be more suitable to call this activity as push between your two accounts.It's achievable.Just do it according to the common steps.
thanks guys, what about the registration info for the domain? can I change it? is it going to hurt maintaining the PR on the domain? Thanks
when u push or transfer normally registration info changes. if u want to keep there may be option if registrar provides that. PR is nothing to do with contacts i believe.
If you just want to just change your account, that is not a big problem. Just inform seller to push domain on your account. But,if you want to transfer domain from one register to another, you must need auth code, Transaction id etc.
Bear in mind, often times when domains are transfered the PR drops to 0 almost immediately. Be sure to try and preserve as much content as possible (if allowed).
