godaddy domain registration question

[kenmtb]

Hi-
If I transfer my domain to godaddy, will it be in my name?
Thanks

Take care - GoDaddy can do private or non private names, but if you want to transfer them away, make you wait 60 days, and restart the 60 days for very slight reasons.

Thanks-
I am not sure if godaddy will own my domain name if I transfer or will I get to keep the domain in my own name.

If you do this yourself it will be.

There is a process when changing registrars. When the process is started, you should get a notice in your email associated with the original domain registration info saying there has been a request to move registrars. You have to approve it.

If you send the request to transfer yourself from your GoDaddy account then things should go fine.

You need to also double check the policies with your old domain registrar as to how long before domain name registration expiry you are allowed to do this. (or if you just got the domain, how long after you can do it).

Before anything, I would like to know something, Why transferring it to Godaddy ?

[kenmtb]

Hello-
I think I stated my question poorly. I found the answer on the web. Apparently godaddy does register a domain in YOUR name not theirs. I was worried about loosing control when I transferred.

There rates are much less expensive then network solutions.

Everybody's rates are less than Network Solutions.

Just be sure that your old registrar has your correct email address and dance through all the proper steps as Tutor posted.

I have completed the entire process in as little as 3 hours when I was leaving a "reputable" registrar. Some losing ones like to drag it out but the better ones don't.

FIRST review nodaddy.com to be sure you want to play their games

THEN create a buyers profile with the information you want in whois and set it as default

ONLY then complete a transfer

If you're going to transfer in your account, it would be obviously under your ownership.
