Hi friend,

I need to Transfer my premium domain name from godaddy.com to one of the following companies:

networksolutions.com, register.com, alldomains.com, tucows.com..

Now I have some questions to ask:

1) Which of the above domain registries that I want to transfer to
is generally considered the Best? (Based on overall services and reliability)

2) Is there any other registry that also offers quality services with lower fees?

3) Is there any way to change the domain name’s original created date to the New Date in the New Domain Registry’s record? Because that domain name’s original created date has the date number of 13. I don't like the number 13. Some other guys may not like the number of 13, too.


Thank you very much for your help!

1) Stay with Godaddy

2) Take a look at namecheap.com

3) You keep the original "created on" date

1 - There is not a "best" . What is best for one might not be the best for others, From experience I would NOT recommend register.com or networksolutions.com
2 - There are many registrars that offer low fees enom(8.95 account), registerfly.com(6.99 transfers) etc.
3 - the create date does not change. They just add additional time to the registration(the expire date is extended)

Hi acts837,

Thank you very much for help!

So, you think godaddy is OK from your experience. Beween godaddy.com and namecheap.com, which is generally better?

Ah, I expect there is some way to change the domain name’s original created date to the new date in the new domain registry’s record, because that domain name’s original created date has the date number of 13. I don't like the number 13:(.

Yeah, let the domain expire and re-register it :D

Oh, Yeah! If I let the premium domain expire, I'll lose that domain, because a lot of guys will already seize the domain eagerly!

Are are any ways to change the domain name’s original created date from the date number 13 to any other number???


ameliorate:(

I don't know about changing the created date but I have changed the expiration date on a few domains with stargates domain sync.

I have used godaddy off and on for awhile now and I keep coming back to them. I have heard of others having issues but from IMHO there is no such thing as a flawless company. I would venture to say that you do a search on every registrar and you will find a complaint.

Be lucky it's not 6/6/6 :D

Hi acts837,

Yes, I agree with you that godaddy is very good, honestily speaking!

This time I'll set up a serious business website with this domain name, and if the domain's registar is a premium one like networksolutions.com, that will give a better feeling of my business site;) .

So, I'm really expecting to take a chance to change the domain name’s original created date from the date number 13 to any other number.


ameliorate:(

:rolleyes: going with NetSol, you're set for some "premium" alright.

Changing registrars does not alter the original registration date.

Hi timechange.com,

Thanks for help!

Yeah! I really expect that my domain's creation is on 6/6/XX or 10/10/XX:D.


ameliorate:D

Hi timechange.com,

So, there are no ways to change domain name's original registration date, absolutely???


ameliorate:(

As timechage mentioned, the only way to change a creation date, is to reregister the domain name.

It's like trying to change your birthdate. No matter how you cut it, you are always going to be born on the same day. Same thing with the 'birthdate' of a domain name. It doesn't change because it's at a new registrar. The domain still came into existance on the same day.

i'll register a name on 6th of jun 2006 for you timechange

and another on for ameliorate on 10th of oct 2010

:D


9/9/99 is kewl also but its passed away :P

I would say Tucows.

Thank you all for your domain guide!

I feel it frustrated that the domain name’s original created date (13th) can not be changed forever. The number 13 is an unforfunate, sad, and very unsatisfactory number. Any serious, interested, traditional customer will look up my domain and company info before doing business with me. I’m quite sure the awkward number 13 of my domain name creation date (virtually my company creation date) will make him/her unhappy to some extent.

My gosh, how to deal with this?

I’m still hoping there would be 1-2% chance to change the domain name’s original created date from the date number 13 to any other number.

It may sound fussy, but I know some persons who really do not like the number 13.


ameliorate:(

No.

Hi timechange.com,

"No"? So you don't think the date number 13 of my domain creation is awkward, or unforfunate to some sensible persons? I'm glad to hear your posive reply. But if that date changed, it would be really good.


ameliorate:(

To change the date, you must let your domain expire and register it again.

"No" means no other option.

I really want to do as you advised, but frankly I'm afraid that domain name will be gone to someone else faster than I re-register it. Sigh.


ameliorate:(

Why do you care so much about the number 13?
WHO CARES!

It's the domain name you are trying to sell, not the expiry date!
If the person is interested in the domain, they will make an offer for it, they DON'T CARE about the number 13, 6, 8 or any other number that will be found in the creation date.

Information could be used to facilitate and cover up domain hijackings.

Damn I missed the juicy part by a few mins :D

Hey! One of my kids was born on the 13th. Will he be unlucky the rest of his life? When he grows up should he tell his girlfriends he was born on a different day?

Sorry about the tangent -

I research companies before I do business with them. I look up the whois and see how long they have been in business, does the address on the website match the domain name (at least ame state), etc, etc. Others may not feel the way I do but I don't give my credit card number out lightly. I have other thoughts on conducting online transactions but you get my point. Worrying about what registrar your business uses and the date you created the domain should be the least of your worries. I would think that your business and financial plan would be priority number 1.
