Hello all, I registered a domain name with Yahoo small business and it was a great mistake! Now, I would like to cancel my plan with them. Their website sucks, never works and you cannot get a hold of the people on the phone. I would like to transfer my domain name with another provider. I also want to be able to build my own webpage through this provider. I heard that Goddady was really good, and I already checked out their website. But I am not sure what to think. Do you have other providers to advise me of? Thanks a lot!
No reason to look further than GoDaddy. Get a "transfer concierge" on the phohe and they'll handle everything.
Yes, but then, they don't include a build a website option. It just is transfering. Then you have to pay extra for building your website.
Before you jump into something, domains can not be transferred until they have been registered for 60 days. I would advise you to stay far far away from RegisterFly. Godaddy, domainsite, enom, namecheap and quite a few more are fine to deal with.
Thanks all for your answers! My domain has been registered for 6 months now, so I should be fine. I will register with Godaddy for transfering the domain. Then I'll check the other options later for the webhost. Thanks a lot!
Don't mix domain provider with host provider Use name.com ($5.99) which is the cheap version of domainsite.com (both the same company) and go choose a cheap and reliable host provider
Before you transfer your domain name, make sure that you have a way to unlock the domain name at Yahoo and also to obtain the EPP code to authorize the transfer.
Thanks a lot for your reply. Actually, I have huge problems trying to transfer my domain to Go Daddy. When I received the transfer acknowledgement email, the email address they say I have is contact@myprivateregistration.com. Meanwhile, my registrar has another one, which is the regular one I use. I called the help line twice already, and it still doesn't work. I updated the info in my registrar last night too. I tried to make my information public for a bit, thinking that it might be the problem, but nothing changed. I also unlocked the domain at yahoo, and nothing changed either. What do you suggest? Thanks.
Did you enable some Whois privacy plan or something ? If so, you need to remove all privacy or any add-ons to the domain name and ensure that it is unlocked.
Yes, I received the info from the support team at Godaddy. They were really quick and helpful! Now, transfer is in progress. They say it takes about 5 to 7 days on average to be done completely. I'll cross my fingers. ;-) Thanks!
