GoDaddy restrictions on transfers

rodash · Jun 3, 2007

Where can I find if there are restrictions on being able to transfer domains out of GoDaddy? I'm about to start transfering all my names out of GoDaddy because the email support there is non-existant. I've tried five times to get the turkeys in Support to fix a matter with two of my domains and they won't get off the backsides and do something. All I get are from them are form email respones which send you around in circles. They're either too lazy or too understaffed to provide proper customer service. So I'm going to pull all my names out of there and go to somewhere where I know I will get the support. Before I do this I need to know if there are any restrictions on transferring names I may have recently bought. Where can I look this up?

Thanks

Is there any easy way to find this out in Daddy's Domain Management system?

not that I know of, if you try a transfer you will get an email from Godaddy stating that the domain can't be transferred until such and such a time.

Checking the "last updated" date from whois may give you a clue.

Thanks for your help. This is going to be a long Whois look-up process given the number of domains I've recently bought. I thought I might be able to short-circuit the process a little.
