Trouble with Joker.com

[revsorg]

I use Joker.com to register my domains. Their price isn't toooo bad, and if you plan to keep domains and not sell them their system works very well.

But I'm trying to change the ownership of one of my domains to someone who bought it off me, and thier system is totally useless for that.

Does anyone have experience of using Joker's system?

I am wondering if I would be better to go to another registrar, force the registration of the domain away from Joker through to the new registrar, and the ownership change system that the new registrar has in place.

Do you think this might work, and does anyone have a suggestion for the best registrar to move the registration over to? I am thinking Godaddy might be a contender?

Basically, if you plan on selling domains, Joker does not seem to be a good choice of registrar.

Many thanks for your help.

i sold once a domain and the new owner wanted it transfered to joker. till today the domain is in my name they did not want to change the owner. best way is transfer it to enom and then make a subaccount for your client.

if you need a reseller account @ enom let me know.

Through a pretty much random decision to click a button on one of their pages, 24 hours of pulling my hair out, emailing their helpdesk and getting a crappy email back that shed zero light on their process along with the comment 'we ask you to follow a well defined procedure' I think I've finally made their system work.

Thanks for your offer micro - what sort of account are you offering?

Enom reseller/retail accounts priced at $8.95 (like most people here use)

Why fool with joker?

Joker is a great registerar - just not domainer friendly.

Best way is to transfer the sold domain out, that is done by opening a transfer window first (at joker) - Then requesting a transfer to eNom, Dotster or GoDaddy etc.

My experience with them has not been great either.
They had Namserver problems before.

They are - just Not for domainers, as I said.

I have had my problems with Joker and their "support". I only ment if webmaster has only one domain that s/he has no intention of ever selling - then Joker is great. Ar least better than net sol

Yeah, I've done a few transfers through joker.com, they like to keep the names you have with them so they have that tricky "time window" system, so you have to time the transfer perfectly and it can be a bit nitpicky, but it works.

Also, keep in mind that it's a German registrar and the German Gov likes to keep tabs on names there....

If you want to go outside the boundaries of the enom whom are the best. Then go to cleverdot.com

Enom are good for domainers, but if I had a valuable name there, I would move it ASAP! A year ago they royally screwed me!
