Re: Web registrars may take back your domain name
This article contains a very misleading error. "The Buyers' Guide explains that it's relatively easy to wave goodbye to one registrar and transfer your domain name to another." Apparently, no one attempted to verify this with an actual transfer. I have been attempting to transfer a domain name from Bulkregister to Network Solutions for over 2 months. At this point the problem has been with Network Solutions. They have admitted that they do not, yet, have the mechanism in place to handle these kinds of transfers. The domain name problem doesn't stop there. The reason for initiating this transfer in the first place was inadequacies in Bulkregister's capabilities. After I obtained a domain name that was registered with Bulkregister I could not make any changes. Only the original Registrant could, i.e., they didn't have a simple mechanism in place to allow a change in Registrants. One has to wonder if - the authors interpretation of the court ruling was in fact verified by competent attorneys. And, yes these same comments are being sent to the author and mag.

Re: Web registrars may take back your domain name
I'm not surprised that Network Solutions is the bottleneck, it took me 2 months just to change my e-mail address. The automated solution didn't work and whenever I tried to contact a live person, I kept getting referred back to the stupid forms. I finally had to create a letter, and FAX it to them with ID and proof of address. I'm going to transfer all of my domains away from them as soon as I figure out how it all works. sf Nick Baker wrote: This article contains a very misleading error.

Re: Web registrars may take back your domain name
Scott, What you have addressed may be true, and is nice as far as it goes. (FYI if you use the right options you can register as many as you want with Network Solutions as well. But it does cost more with Netsol.) Bulkregister's does not offer all of the automated features. That is not to suggest that in the total scheme of things that Bulkregister is any less capable than any of the other Registrars. To date NONE of the Registrar services can provide the total repertoire of domain management services needed by the entire Internet community in an automated fashion. So! The point of the original post was that the ability to transfer between Registrars was not as claimed in the quoted article. Nick I can recommend bulkregister.com. While they are a smaller place, they offer MUCH better pricing and have all automated forms that WORK! I am registering domains at $15 a year right now with them. Their service works great and is almost always up and working and is very easy to use. It even stores information as default for registering so that if you register a lot to one person, it is easy to just type in the name and go.
