Godaddy Domain Transfers
June 11th, 2007The Godaddy 10 Step Program
Godaddy is my registrar of choice and I have over 100 domains there. Here is an easy 10 step post to move domains into Godaddy from other registrars.
1. Obtain Authorization Code from owner of domain (he will get this from the current registrar).
2. Have owner change Admin email to your email or forward the Transaction ID and Security code that Godaddy will send them (If you change the admin email check the Whois to make sure the new email address has propagated).
3. Log into your Godaddy account and hover Domains and click on Transfer Domain To Godaddy. Enter in the domain name you are transfering and pay for the one year. As part of this process Godaddy will send the Transaction ID and Security Code to the domains admin email.
4. When you get the Godaddy email with Transaction ID and Security Code go to Godaddy and login and in go to My Account and click on Pending Domain Transfers. Select the domain and click on the Authorization button on the right and click Begin Transfer Authorization in the drop down menu.
