I haven't had a rant in a while so here we go... What is domainz's problem? they appear to be trying to complicate the whole domain registration change process with beaurocratic nonsense...
A part of our business was sold and we wanted to transfer a domain to the purchaser... easy you would think... I filled in all the forms, got the purchaser (In Australia) to fax their part to me as for legal reasons we were in a tad of a hurry.. mistake number 1. I put down our company details with our name blahblah New Zealand Limited and posted it off.. mistake number 2. Unfortunately (but fortunately for them) I was on leave when they rang and they talked to my boss, it seems that not only is the faxed part of the letter is inadmissable, but because the domain was registered as blahblah new zealand (sans limited) we needed to fill out another form and send it back... Now is it just me or is that completely petty, I can vaguely understand the fax thing (ooooh i might have forged their details...) but the whole 'limited' thing, really!... Apparently there is some new rule about domains only being registered as an individual or as company name (written exactly as per your company registration documents) in the same way as they do Australia. Fair enough you would think, however when asked if this will affect other domains which were registered years ago without the 'limited' bit, they said it would cause problems but they're not going to do anything about advising people of all the changes... Normal programming shall now resume. jeremyb.
