Re: Need advice on domain management and transfer
$1.51/mo for a static site? Might want to check out NearlyFreeSpeech.net - I pay pennies for static, and around $0.50/mo for my ttrss instance (php, MySQL, cron jobs). They've been good about domain registration, too, if a bit lacking in suffixes.

Re: Need advice on domain management and transfer
I switched to AWS. http://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/registrar.html $12/yr and and their business model isn't based on domain registration gimicks.

Re: Need advice on domain management and transfer
I would move away from register.com - they're not very responsive or understanding of small domain holders. I use OpenSRS at tucows.com, and I find them inexpensive, non-invasive, and they give one the ability to get in the "domain business" (which means they have a storefront you can use to let your "friends" manage/pay for their own domains. --Bruce On 08/09/2017 12:57 PM, Tyson Sawyer wrote: > I hold a couple of domains.

Besides renewing the domain that will expire soon, I need to unlock transfers first. However, transfering both domains will give me a chance to clean up all the name issues on the accounts. Thanks!

Re: Need advice on domain management and transfer
I would recommend that you use a different registrar (better service, nicer interface, less cost). If you transfer a domain to another registrar, you will have to pay for another year, but that gets added to the current expiration. You generally don't want to do a transfer if the domain is about to expire in the next 60 days. I use NameCheap (https://www.namecheap.com/domains/transfer.aspx) and they are both good and inexpensive. It is entirely OK to list yourself for all contacts. The process for changing "Registrant Organization" can be a real pain. See https://whois.icann.org/en/lookup?name=j3.org for info on your domain registration. ~ Greg Greg Rundlett https://eQuality-Tech.com https://freephile.org On Wed, Aug 9, 2017 at 12:57 PM, Tyson Sawyer wrote: > I hold a couple of domains.

Need advice on domain management and transfer
I hold a couple of domains. One is my own that I registered in '96 and the other belongs to a friend. The "other" I registered for him in '01 to help his small race engineering business. I have few issues. Well, a few to discuss here, I won't bring up working with Bobby Casey at this time... ;-) - We'd like to transfer the 2nd domain to be owned by my friend - They are both registered with register.com. Is that not the cool thing these days? - They ended up under two different accounts that I hold at register.com with some messed up naming. The domains are j3.org (mine, Bill Sconce would have understood the reference) and smallfortuneracing.com (my friend's). I'm asking for advice in part because I don't want to make any mistakes and lose control of the domains. - Who should my friend register with, if not register.com? - What are the steps to do the transfer? - Should I move my domain to a different registrar and if so, to whom? - If not, is there a way to change or delete the "Registrant Organization" and username of the account? I guess I should also ask about appropriate Tech contacts. The person I have listed at one time hosted the web site on both, is still in my contacts list and could call, but someone I haven't contacted in years. Is it reasonable list myself for Registrant, Admin and Tech? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
