Stumbled across this from PowerPipe.com. It's amazing they can not only make it incredibly complex and difficult to transfer away but also charge $7.99 per name to do so.
Anyone who does business with a firm who has policies like this must be either a newbie or not know about their amazing transfer away policy? Is this even legal or allowed by ICANN?
Is there much danger others will also do this? Hope not! Note they will not even take credit cards for their transfer away fee. How do firms like this stay in business anyway? Any members at DNF have names at this firm?
