This week I've been learning the ropes at several registars
godaddy.com,ENOM, gkg.net, Nic.de , DotRegister or is it DotRegistar
and DirectNic while transfering ownership. Lots of usernames,passwords,
handles,account numbers and new rules!
Some domains I've purchased were prevesily registered through DirectNic by
another party and are less then 60 Days
old but I need to Transfer ownership and manage the DNS settings.
Your site states that I need to establish an account with your company
and deposit funds $15.00 per domain where ownership is transfered. I'v
attemped to transfer a domain to OPenSRS
(only $10.00)
before learning that the domain was less then 60 days old.
(Marketlance.com) I also have ohter names to transfer
ownership on but will save the $5.00 by using OpenSRS unless there is a
better way.
