How does it look with transferring a domain from a reseller account directly to GD ?? I've received the Authorization Info: 14xxxx9xxDxxxxC0 but can't find a place to enter this in GD....

HELP !!!

Not so fast. After you initiate a transfer request into godaddy. Godaddy will first send the domain registrant a transaction ID and password, then you will use this "transaction ID and password", and enter them from "accept domain transfer" or something from the menu, then on the top right, you will see "authorisation", that is where you enter your auth code.

You have to initiate the transfer in godaddy first.

I think it is just stupid that people have to initiate a transfer from a GD reseller site to GD main site. Why don't they let people push directly?

please direct me mate, a bit confused now....

The domain is with the reseller, so not really sure how to initiate the transfer in GD.....

help....

(sorry, have never done this before)

(added)

this is what I've found on one site:

1. The domain transfer is purchased by the customer.
2. The domain needs to be unlocked and the authorization code needs to be retrieved from the current registrar. This step is vital in order to initiate the transfer with the gaining registrar.
3. The customer then receives an email from the gaining registrar which contains an ID #, key code and a link for transfer confirmation.
4. With the help of the ID and key; the customer confirms the transfer and may also require the authorization code from the losing registrar.
5. The losing registrar then receives a notification from the gaining registrar to transfer the domain.
6. The losing registrar then sends a confirmation for domain release.
7. The customer confirms release with the losing registrar.
8. The gaining registrar receives domain release from the losing registrar.
9. The customer is sent a confirmation email that the domain is located in their account.
10. Customer takes control of the new domain at the new registrar.
24/7 support is offered both by telephone and email.

Maybe DCG can look into making this change at GoDaddy ?
