is it possible to tranfer a domain out of moniker after it has expired? I know some registrars allow this. not sure if moniker does. does anyone know?
 
It is possible and I've done it for Moniker names. Ask Moniker directly to be sure of their policy about this. But I don't remember the # of days they give you to do this. I'll check. I remember the name was left in your account for up to 35 days, at least it was at some point in the past. It also depends on the ext, ccTLD's are real strict on this, for example. And even for common exts that doesn't mean you can wait that long (up to 35 days) to transfer it out. Do it asap and if it can't be done because it's been too long Moniker will simply not let you unlock it and/or email you the auth code. I am sure the period given to unlock the name and get the auth code is a lot shorter. Other registrars simply do not allow you to move a name out once the domain expires, except when you've unlocked the domain and obtained the auth code before exp date. Go Daddy is one of them
 
Trying to do this now -- it's been expired for TWO WEEKS and I have no choice but to renew via Moniker. Too bad; I paid for a transfer to GD.

If anyone knows a backdoor way to unlock and send auth code via Moniker, please inform! ...Looks like I'll have to call M. tomorrow to complain :/
