Today I woke up to an email from Uniregistry<\/strong>, informing me that my portfolio of domain names was successfully migrated to GoDaddy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

To complete the transition and take control of it, I had to take control of a new account number and set up a password. In the process, I had to verify my email address via GoDaddy.<\/p>\n

This is where glitches kicked in: the email would not arrive. I checked my server’s settings and due to an existing grey-listing setting, emails without SPF records would be held in a sandbox for 90 minutes at a time. That rendered the process of resetting one’s password or verifying emails useless.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Because GoDaddy’s email of choice wasn’t set up properly, I had to white-list that IP range, specifically 198.71.246.0-198.71.246.255. Then I ran into a “too many attempts” error. Luckily, after white-listing the GoDaddy IP range the grey-listed emails arrived and was able to verify my identity and log into my account.<\/p>\n

The new GoDaddy domain manager looks cool. It’s like Uniregistry’s but different. Although still in perpetual beta, it’s light years ahead of the old GoDaddy user interface I used on and off for years. I must say that was a pleasant surprise.<\/p>\n

My domains were all there<\/strong><\/a> and GoDaddy included some that had already moved out to Sav.com, in a separate group. Getting used to the new interface is easy, and I even attempted to renew a few that had expired. First shock: $19.99 dollar<\/strong> .com renewals.<\/p>\n

Gone are the discounted Uniregistry rates and although I was assigned a corporate account manager I hadn’t reached out to them yet.<\/p>\n

I decided to move a couple of dozen domains to Sav<\/strong><\/a>, my current domain registrar of choice. Unlocked the domains, exported the information and the auth codes and initiated a new transfer from Sav. Second glitch: all were declined, as WHOIS privacy was on. GoDaddy doesn’t like that, apparently. After I turned WHOIS privacy off, I restarted the transfers.<\/p>\n

They were declined again. Apparently, each time a transfer fails, the auth code is reset<\/strong> to something new. I had to get the new codes and input them manually at Sav, in order for the transfer to begin.<\/p>\n

After receiving the notification emails, I was able to go into Transfers at GoDaddy and accept them in bulk. Nice.<\/p>\n

Glitch #3: One .org domain was denied and I received an email notifying me of a “manual review<\/em>” flagging the transfer. I had to respond with a confirmation to transfer the domain and that transfer has yet to complete.<\/p>\n

Overall, I don’t plan to keep my domains at GoDaddy and I will be transferring them away as they approach expiration. If I choose to let some drop I might send them to GoDaddy auctions instead.<\/p>\n

GoDaddy should have provided domainer-friendly pricing from the get-go, as any accounts transitioning from Uniregistry now are most definitely those of domain investors. The transition of retail accounts with a handful of domains took place a year ago. For us investors with hundreds or thousands of domain names, every nickel and dime counts.<\/p>\n

Another note: GoDaddy sends individual emails for every successful transfer away, along with “Sorry to see you go” emails. Even when transfers were part of a bulk request, unlike how Uniregistry would respond. That’s a lot of emails!<\/p>\n

I would not discourage others from using GoDaddy, however. The UX is considerably better, thanks to the work of Uniregistry engineers, most likely. Great work, guys! \ud83d\udc4d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
