Network Solutions was always spastic about the Registrant Name, and required a byzantine process to change it.
OpenSRS gives you the ability to update the Registrant information whenver you want, and does not require anything like the RCNA process that Network Solutions uses. (FWIW, I think NetSol's process is absurd; they'll let you change the Admin contact via email -- and that's the one that really matters -- but they won't let you update the Registrant info without a notarized form?!?!) In any event, it is possible, even likely, that the registrant info will be changed during a transfer. The information that you key into the transfer form BECOMES the WHOIS for the domain once it is transferred. OpenSRS's transfer process is quite specific that the transfer of the domain may change ownership information, and it explicitly points this out to the admin contact both in the transfer authorization request and on the authorization web page. What NEVER changes during a transfer is the DNS info. As a result, you can rest assured that the transfer will not disable the domain.

Is this the norm? What happened: DOMAIN.COM Old Registrant Name Old Registrant Address I filled in the transfer domain request using the RWI, but i typed in a new registrant address and the new registrant name instead (thsi is actually the correct registrant address and name, the old one was outdated - and more importantly the registrant name had also changed). After the domain name transfer was completed, the reflected Registrant NAME and address in whois.opensrs.net are now different from the Old one. They are the ones i typed into the RWI for the transfer. since the change has not propagated, you can effectively see 2 different registrants and address for this domain when you search netsol and opensrs. Is this always the case during a registrar transfer? for netsol to change the registrant NAME, there had to be a RNCA process, which included a notarized form. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp.
