Domain Transfer Problem
Has anyone ever had a problem doing a domain transfer? I registered 16 domains with ev1servers.net a few months ago and want to move 13 of them to buydomains.com. However, it seems anytime I try... I get the following error.
* 6 domain(s) cannot be transferred.
They are all past the 60 days and all have my current name, address, phone number, billing info, ect...
Has anyone ever had a problem with ev1servers.com not wanting to let something go?Last edited by Atlantis Services; 01-29-2005 at 11:02 PM.

This probably belongs in the domain forum. Anyhooo...
Make sure the domains aren't locked, they aren't .org's or something that requires special means to do so.

I have transferred a couple of domains from EV1 and several domains from other TUCOWS resellers without a hitch. TUCOWS and eNom resellers have been very smooth for me.

The .com and .net registry has been very flaky recently. Failed whois searches and all sorts of funny stuff. Of course it could just be me. I'm curious though, why are you moving to buydomains.com?

Did you contact EV1's support department, or come straight here to broadcast the problem you are having?

I just changed my mind & have decided to go with GoDaddy.com (first time using them). The reason why I wanted away from ev1 was because they do not offer domain forwarding & I've used buydomains.com in the past (only used ev1 this time, because it was cheaper).
All my domains seem to be fine now, as I didn't get any error moving them to GoDaddy, but now they say I need a code for my .org's and I guess I'll have to contact Ev1 for that. *sigh*Since April 2001 Atlantis Services - Proudly servicing everyone's web hosting needs!

You will have to look at those domains individually to find it... it'll likely be toward the bottom of the pages.
Obviously the snag wasn't with EV1 at the start, but was due to something amis at buydomains.
Glad you've got it going your way though.

Dumb question, why do you need a code for .org's?Since April 2001 Atlantis Services - Proudly servicing everyone's web hosting needs!

Not dumb
If you are transferring a .biz, .info or .org extension, you will be asked (by any registrar) to provide an authorization code. This is simply because the registries for those specific domain extensions require this as a means to provide an extra layer of protection against unauthorized transfers.

12 domains = Pending Current Registrar Approval
1 domain = Pending Modification
I also noticed I didn't get the promo price they offered (3.99 or 7.99 was the promo). They charged me 15.90 for each. *shrugs* No big deal I guess.Last edited by Atlantis Services; 01-30-2005 at 01:05 AM.

If you ever (God Speed) have a domain hi-jacked, you'll be looking for more ways to make the process more difficult.
As for the difference your being charged, from what was advertised, double check that all the "requirements" are there. If so, they'll easily be able to correct the charges.
Chances are the amount of your transaction is a "pre authorization amount" and not the actual charges, the actual charge could be 24 hours to several days later.

I just looked at the site and what it says is:
"Get a new domain name, transfer or renewal for only $3.99* with each and every new non-domain product you buy!"
If you had ordered 13 "new NON-DOMAIN products" - then you could have gotten that advertised pricing.
Wording is soooooooo critical! Just ask Bill Clinton! hehe
