How do I transfer my godaddy domain to 1and1?

[lokiju]

Has anyone ever successfully transferred their own domain from Godaddy to 1and1?

HTF do you do it?

Also, is there a better option to transfer to?

Godaddy is getting to be to expensive once you factor in private registration, which is included for free with 1and1 and I can transfer to them for only $6.99 for the first year.


I wasn't sure what forum to put this in, so hope this is ok.

A word to the wise: do *NOT use 1and1!

A few weeks later I got a letter from a collection agency, they are trying to say that I owe them $80 some odd dollars, despite me always having paid them AND taking extra cash from my new card!

Do you have any other suggestions on who to use?

Do they charge more for private registration like Godaddy does?

I've never had problems with 1and1. Been with them for at least 5 or 6 years now, one domain and one email hosting. I actually transferred from Godaddy for the same reasons as the OP. Sorry, i don't remember how i got the unlock code but i believe it involved emailing tech support. Their customer service number is NOT toll-free (another reason to switch). Without going into too much detail Godaddy tried lying through their teeth in many ways to try and retain me as a customer. Their customer service really sucks!

Avoid 1and1 at all costs. Keep your domain with a domain company (I prefer namecheap but godaddy works too) and your hosting with a hosting company.

I haven't had any problems with 1and1.

Neither did I for the first few years. when you have a problem, that is when the nightmare begins.
