Re: A Step By Step Guide to Transfer Domains Out Of GoDaddy
#42I just transferred my 47 domains out of GoDaddy. I've been meaning to do it for awhile --- primarily because the price keeps inching up and because I find their advertising and use of spokeswomen sort of distasteful. Seeing Jillian Michael's face when I'm buying a domain or setting up DNS records for a client is pretty much the last thing I want to see. I guess you could say SOPA was the last straw. Transferring 47 d…
Same, but I think it was 46 for me ;)
Big relief having finally gotten off my butt to do that. Well worth the $200+ and at least that renews them all for an extra year at the same time, so it's not like I wouldn't have spent it anyway (just not all at once).

#43Just transferred (recovered/save/gavelife) (well, just) 3 domains out of GoDaddy. Rest of my domains are gathering dust elsewhere, but I am happy that this marks the end of my relationship with the nasty GoDaddy. Best wishes to them with their skimpy dress ads on SupBowl!

#44Quick tip, you can use the promo code 'switch2nc' to save a dollar off each transfer.
(I am not affiliated with namecheap, the promo code or anything related. I am just cheap :-p)

Knowing that I would need to pay to renew them anyway made it slightly less painful. It's tough to cough up $300+ at once, but SOPA is a horrible idea and GoDaddy apparently has no clue who their customers are. I'd be very curious to see some stats on how many transfers happened because of this effort.
Re: A Step By Step Guide to Transfer Domains Out Of GoDaddy
#46This is a great step by step guide for transferring domains. Exactly what I needed (I tried earlier and quickly got lost!) I do have a question for anyone who could help: Can I transfer a domain which is set to expire in 2019? And, are there typically fees for transferring a domain?
A year is typically added to the expiration, it is not reset. There is a cost associated with transferring a domain. For namecheap it cost me $7.98/domain, with the coupon code SWITCH2NC to transfer.
found this also: use SOPASUCKS as coupon to transfer from goddady to namecheap

#47This review is really preventing me from going with namecheap... http://www.webhostingreviews.com/namecheap-reviews.htm can someone advise?
Ditto, some nasty stuff there. Sounds akin to a typical godaddy experience.

#48Just transfered out 34 domains. Thanks for the export instructions!
Re: A Step By Step Guide to Transfer Domains Out Of GoDaddy
#49Also, item of note for these instructions. GoDaddy auth codes sometimes contain commas, so they'll export as quoted values.
The domain,authcode trick in the bulk form doesn't work. Make sure to enter the unquoted auth codes for those domains in the cart during transfer.

#50Earlier quoted context omitted.
This is also my understanding. Which essentially means that you cannot transfer any domains out of GoDaddy without losing your anonymity.
Purchase third party whois privacy. Whois privacy costs nothing to run, it's just a company saying they own the domain on your behalf, this opens you up to domain theft though, I don't understand why people use it. Set up a PO Box somewhere and use that.

Is it allowed to use a fictional name?
