I’ve never been a heavy user of Moniker<\/strong><\/a>; not even in the “good old days” when Monte Cahn ran the show.<\/p>\n

Moniker’s interface always left something to be desired, and it was always a few steps behind the practicality and efficiency of other web interfaces, such as that of eNom<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

These days, even GoDaddy<\/strong>‘s improved domain manager seems like a sight for sore eyes in comparison.<\/p>\n

With recent problems<\/strong><\/a> plaguing Moniker to no end, I am moving my last remaining domain to Uniregistry<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

To get the authorization code from Moniker, I had to select the domain and check the “Advanced Settings” box, that revealed several extra options. The code arrived at my mailbox in seconds.<\/p>\n

Unlocking the domain took extra effort, as the lock\/unlock toggle appeared inverted. I had to select the domain’s checkbox, and from the drop down menu select the “Unlock” option; the little padlock option seemed not to work.<\/p>\n

Transferring the domain to Uniregistry appears to be working so far; pay attention to the emails and notifications in order to complete such transfers.<\/p>\n

It’s farewell to Moniker, and I leave behind a credit of $3.52 that cannot be used.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
