We wanted to renew it or transfer it to our eNom account. But they said they would not allow the transfer of the domain unless it was active. So we renewed it with them and the transfer requests have still been denied. They told us today that only the Admin contact can ok a transfer. When did this happen? I have moved sites by just being the Technical contact before. They also have very poor data. We updated our contact info on a domain name. When you do a WhoIs it shows it correct but if you request the username and password for the domain it shows the old info. Also I have only had one domain registered through them (personally all others are clients) but some how I have 4 accounts. Now .org sites are handled like .gov site and you need an authorization code to make changes. But you can't just get that on the site you have to call them and then they try and pump sunshine up you're a_ss ad tell you bad things will happen if you transfer your site to "Lesser" registrar. I have been using eNom for a few years now with no problems. They have an API, also you can write scripts to edit accounts using HTTP Request, I have had to call them for support a few times and the turn around has been within a few hours.

To this day, they still do not send out notifications to us or our customers of domain names expiring.

Ever since they tried slamming my domain registration with a different registrar. Of course, my boycott is pretty meaningful since I don't really have any business to send their way anyway. -Kevin ----- Original Message ----- From: "jon hall" To: "CF-Community" Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2003 3:14 PM Subject: Boycott Verisign > http://boycott.verisign.sleazebags.com > > That's all I've got to say about that. > > -- > jon > mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=i:5:89150 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=t:5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com --_NextPart_000_1063822221_CFX_iMSMail_147079048 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" One of our domain names had expired (by only few days) and they held it hostage.
