What's up with Namecheap?

[dotDan]

Hello,
Unfortunately, you will need to submitt a transfer at Enom, as we do not
have the same database. We do not charge to transfer a domain away from
Namecheap.com
All you need to do is to make sure that all the admin. contact is up to
date and the lock has been removed via your account.



Regards,

I thought they were an ETP?

They are an ETP, but they use their own onsite database. With out knowing the context of what you sent them in order to get that reply, I cant give a better reply then this, sorry

I think hes trying to transfer his namecheap names to his own enom account.

 

[taheria]

yeah, that part I got

 

[MediaHound]

what did you do, ask them to push a domain to another enom account?

 

[dotDan]

I asked them to push ten domains into my enom account.

I just assumed that everyone under eNom would share the same database.

 

[MediaHound]

I wish regfly would do that with my .ws domains.

 

[dotDan]

Agreed, I have six domains at RegisterFly, but it will cost another $60 to move them just because they became a registrar.

 

[MediaHound]

huh? why would that cost another $60? and why would it not have before?

My .ws comment is just a matter of the fact that .ws cannot be transfered between regiatrars.

 

[dotDan]

Well, I still don't see why sites under eNom have their own DB.. but my post was referencing the fact that RF could just push the domains to my ETP if they were still part of eNom.

And I just made sense of the .ws comment, it is too bad they can't be moved.

 

[MediaHound]

Ahh, see what you mean. Well, at least you get more years with having to pay to transfer away, not like it's a rogue hostage fee.
