I bought 80 names froma fellow domainer. No free push in 1and1?
 
Might get a free push between accounts with 1&1, but like most registrars, if you're going to a different one the receiver will most likely tack on a year's registration fee.
 
I have had this issue before I transferred the domains out of 1and1.
 
I think it would make more sense for you to pay them $6.99 per domain and get all your names over to GoDaddy.

By doing that, you will also be extending their expiry by a year.
 
Does anyone have a link or step by step instructions for transfering a domain from one 1and1 account to another. I called them up and man they want a fax, and all kinds of BS to transfer a domain...it has to be easier then that just to do a simple push to another 1and1 account...any help?
 
I did an internal transfer last week and it was straightforward.
Buyer logs into his control panel and clicks 'ADD' and follow instructions.
Seller checks his control panel for mail and authorizes transfer (remember to unlock before).
I do not know if the buyer was charged $6.99 or not.
Good luck.:smilewinkgrin:
 
1and1 are a nightmare to deal with in terms of transfers.....the customer service is shocking and they have "lost" a couple of my domains in the past while I was trying to transfer them internally to a new account I had created for business use to seperate them from my personal stuff. One of the domains was/is of no real interest to anyone else but for over 3 years now it has been unavailable for me to re-register and a whois search turns up "registered but no website" but gives an error of "Domain or IP Address not found"

I never purchase a domain either through 1and1 or from someone who has it registered currently at 1and1 due to that and the many horror stories you can read about similar cases around the web.

The best I can suggest is that you follow their instructions to the letter, that way, should anything go wrong then you at least have some comeback in that you did what they requested instead of looking for a "wuick and easy" method which backfires.

Good Luck
