When we signed up with our existing provider, they transferred the domain name (I didn't sign up, and the person who did was confused as to what was happening).

However, all of our domains are on Network Solutions, and it was transferred to eNom.

Well I started to move it back, from eNom to Network Solutions. I got the EPP/Auth code from eNom, started a transfer on Network Solutions, and responded to the e-mail from eNom approving the transfer.

I started the transfer Wednesday at 3PM - but it's Friday AM now.
The status right now is "Pending Registry Approval".

How much longer should it take to get the domain transferred? Should I be expecting more e-mail's/confirmation links?

NSI moves slower than molasses

I only clicked on this thread because I thought to myself Why in the world would someone move fro Enom to NSI?!?!?!

I don't think it has *ANYTHING* to do with NetSol. It's the LOSING registrar, i.e. eNom here, that is slow. But then MANY registrars these days are doing that, leaving the transfer out there to wait out the 5 days period, instead of expediting it with just a click.

All of our domains are on Network Solutions - rather have them in one place.

One advantage of that is that it gives the the domain's registrant some time to notify the registrar in case of a fraudulent transfer. If they do discover it's fraud, the losing registrar can NACK (stop) the transfer during the 5 day transfer window.

In the past, I have had many difficulties with enom. Ever since they changed names, from bulkregister, their service has went down hill. I moved all domains away from enom. There were times I would be waiting for an hour to talk to someone about my transfer. They were extremely difficult. I believe it took me about 5-7 days before the move was complete, closer to 7.

Good Luck with your transfer!

BulkRegister was actually ACQUIRED by eNom.

I'm also waiting for the transfer to complete so I can switch to a new host.

Would it be a problem to change the DNS on eNom and when it makes the switch - the settings will stay with it?

Or should I just wait?

The settings will stay - so it's entirely your decision what you do!

As mentioned the transfer should not take more than five days to complete. After five days domains transfer automatically unless the losing registrar blocks the transfer. There is something the losing registrar can do to speed things up - which some will do as a matter of course but others won't.

(I'm in the process of moving my domains from Dotregistrar - who have gone from "so so" to "pretty awful" since they were bought by Dotster - and all my transfers are taking five days to complete)

5-10 days approx.

Maybe it's me, but I noticed that seems to be occurring more often nowadays. While it can cause unnecessary inconvenience, the registrar can't necessarily be faulted for wanting to cover their behinds.
