 Posted: Tue Jun 03, 2008 10:27 pm Post subject: Domain transfer problem |
 |
|
I am trying to movee my domain from one registrar to another since 9
May. The process seems easy: first I get an authorisation code from the
old registrar and then I use it to start the transfer from my account at
the new registrar. No success so far.
The new registrar writes: "The time can vary between 1 and 10 days, even
more in the event of a mishap. It is composed of two parts: - First
phase: authentication of the request: it depends on the speed with
which transfer contacts answer our e-mail requests for confirmation.
Duration of this phase: from 0 to 5 days."
In this case, they send the transfer request to support@(oldregistrar)
and then they get no answer. To me they say: "If nobody answer, the
transfert will not be done."
When I ask the old registrar they say "I am not seeing this domain in a
pending transfer status. I do not see that we would have denied any
transfer request." and "We would not be in the position to not respond
unless this was already in a pending transfer status. I can assure you
that we don't do anything to stop outgoing transfers and that we haven't
done anything to either not respond to, or block any transfer requests."
Who of them is wrong? Is there anything else I have to do? There is no
blocking or anything like that on the domain as far as I know.

The authorization transfer E-mail will be sent to the admin contact in
whois record.
I assume your current registrar is the admin contact, so they got the
mail. Either call them and ask them to approve the transfer on your behalf.
Or better yet, do it yourself. Log in to your registrar account and put
your details in the admin-contact section. Then ask the new registrar to
resend the auth E-mail so YOU will receive it, and you will be able to
approve the transfer.
PS: it can take a while before the whois information updates.

Hello!
Well, I am the "Administrative, Technical Contact" in the whois. For
some reason, they sent the mail to support@(registrar) instead. I sent
them a mail suggesting that they send the request to the Administrative,
Technical Contact (me) instead, which they did, so finally the process
is started.
I thought they knew what they were doing, but it does not seem so.
Meanwhile, I had to pay one year more to the old registrar :-(

Maybe it's the gaining registrar that sent the auth E-mail to the wrong
E-mail.
Problem is, whois records are not harmonized and the format varies from
one registrar to another. It can make parsing the records more
difficult. For example, if the Administrative Contact, Technical Contact
& Registrant are the same, some registrars will combine them into 1
record while other registrars will display 3 distinct entries...
