Author Name: Fred BunzlOne of the most common errors I come across week after week concerns domain transfers. That is when a request is made to assign a domain name from one registrar to another. Many domain owners wait until just a few days before their domain expires before requesting transfer because they mistakenly think the remaining time on their domain name ordain be lost if they assign earlier. The result is that the transfer often fails because the procedure can take a few days to end. And during that time the domain expires. The 'losing' registrar will then refuse the transfer altogether because of the universal rule that expired domains can't be transferred. I guess one reason domain owners are badly informed about this is because many registrars believe it's not in their interests to express their customers about this. After all the more failed transfers there are,the more the registrar can displace in for another year's fees. As a domain reseller. I think that's a short-sighted attitude because it makes customers only more determined to leave your service as soon as possible!What you need to remember is this.... When you assign your domain label one year's validity is added to the domain's EXISTING expiry date. So no measure is ever lost when you transfer your domain!For example if your domain comfort has 6 months to go before expiry and you transfer it now it will have 18 months after the transfer completes. So the moral is... If you've decided to
your domain label to another registrar don't wait until renewal time comes around. Transfer it now. The only exception is if you recently registered or renewed your domain name. You will then undergo to wait for 60 days before requesting a assign. The cerebrate is that domain registrars undergo a common rule against this. Many were ripped off in the past by fraudsters who didn't pay their credit separate bills and the registrars then had nothing in hand neither change nor the domain label.
