Trying to move away from registerfly. I initiated a domain name transfer about a day and a half ago - and it still says 'in process', etc.


The domain is unlocked and the whois protection is off. The admin contact is right, yet I have not received an email yet.

Just curious.

I think it took me a couple weeks to transfer from OpenSRS to Namecheap. I replied quickly when the emails came in, it just took a while for whatever reason.

Is it actually registered with registerfly or enom? Registerfly is currently not approving transfer requests.

What do you mean they are not 'approving' transfer requests? The process is 'automatic' isn't it? I've got the 'code', and everthing is unlocked, etc. My whois says registerfly.

Damn, you are lucky then. Quite a few people have run into the problem where it will not generate the code and they will not respond to support requests.

Just went through this. Transferred from namecheap to godaddy and it took about 3 days. I just completed the transfer minutes ago. Although I must say that Namecheap's customer service are d!ckheads.

I wrote the code down when I registered it last year. It is at the bottom under admin contact, still in the control panel.
