GoDaddy.com & .co.uk. transfers

domaindirk · Nov 22, 2004

Just tried to transfer a couple of .co.uk domains to another member, using GoDaddy's "change account" tool, but was not successful. I contacted their support, and after waiting long distance for 15 minutes, and was informed that they can not transfer .co.uk or .ws domains! :veryangry. Does this answer have merit? If this is the case, I can not recommend registering any domains with these extensions, through GoDaddy.com.

Is there away out of this? Can I transfer these domains to enom, and then get them to the new owner? GoDaddy.com is really starting to concern me. :worried: I hope they are not letting their success go to their head and turn into another Register.com! :'(

Thanks,
DD

I have transferred .ws names to another account at GoDaddy...You can not transfer it to a different registrar thou...I think the rep you talked with just don't know the difference between a push and a transfer.

.uk tlds you cant transfer .co.uk .org.uk etc as they are run by nominet, if you want to transfer your domain you will have to do it through them, take a read here:
