11/12/04...Beginning today, the new ICANN transfer policy goes into effect. The new ICANN transfer policy is being implemented because of widespread abuse by many registrars. They effectively hold their customer's domain names hostage by making it extremely difficult for disgruntled customers to transfer domains away from these companies.
No need to mention any names, but we'll give you a hint. The registrars that are whining like yapping poodles about your domains being hijacked are likely culprits.
Simply "lock" your domains to guard against unauthorized transfers and sleep like a baby knowing your domains are safe.
There has been widespread complaints from domain name owners who've experienced continued frustration in their attempts to transfer domains away from the overpriced or lousy services from their current registrars.
How do we know?...We've experienced it first hand. We've had dozens of transfer attempts blocked by these companies and all we are able to tell our prospective customers is, "We're sorry."
Domain registrations provide a guaranteed recurring income and the losing registrars don't give up that income without a fight, regardless of the effect on their customers. Hopefully these new changes will address the needs of the domain owners instead of the registrars.
If you're looking to transfer away from your current registrar, you should give us a look. Our domain transfers are competitively priced at $14.95 and include an additional year added to your current expiration date.
