Understanding the Difference Between Changing a Domain Registrant and Transferring Domains

blacksheepinc — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 03:01:38 +0000

Changing a domain registrant is the process of moving a domain from one account to another account, within the same registrar. Transferring a domain is the process of transferring a domain to an account with a different registrar.

Changing a Domain Registrant

You may want to initiate a domain registrant change under the following circumstances:

You want to move your domain to another account with your current registrar. For example, you sold your domain to someone who has an account with your current registrar.
You need to change the domain contact’s email address and don’t have access to the account. For example, the account that contains the domain belongs to a former employee.

If you have access to the account in which the domain is located, you can initiate a domain account change through the Domain Manager. For more information, see Initiating Registrant Changes.

If you do not have access to the account, you must complete the Request for Change of Account/Email Update Preparation Form. For more information about completing the form, see Completing a Change Form for Moving Domains.

Transferring a Domain

You may want to transfer a domain under the following circumstances:

You sold your domain to another user who uses a different registrar.
You switched registrars and want to transfer your domains to an account with your new registrar.

Transferring domains takes five days or less.

If you want to transfer a domain from another registrar to us, follow the procedure specified by your current registrar. To facilitate the process, verify the email address for the domain’s administrative contact at your current registrar is correct and advise the contact to expect our request for approval. We use the administrative contact’s email address to request approval to transfer the domain. The transfer can be denied by your current registrar. If your name was on hold or was released by your current registrar, please contact us to resubmit your transfer. For more information, see Transferring Domains to Us.

If you want to transfer a domain to another registrar, you must unlock your domain and initiate the transfer with your new registrar.

Secure Server Certificates

blacksheepinc — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 00:31:37 +0000

People are getting smart about online security. More and more of them are looking for the padlock icon and “https” prefix in the address bar of their browser before submitting personal information online. If your Web site doesn’t have an SSL Certificate, visitors may leave before making a purchase, creating an account or even signing up for a newsletter. But you can change all that with an SSL from BSNR.com.

All BSNR.com SSL Certificates:

Are Affordable –
Provide Warranty Information
Are based on virtually unbreakable 128-bit and high grade 256-bit encryption.
Offer 99% browser recognition.
Are supported live, 24/7, by our expert staff.
Do not rely on third parties for their Public Key Infrastructure; our Certificate Authority owns its Trusted Root.

Private registration of a domain name.

blacksheepinc — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 00:29:21 +0000

Did you know that when you register a domain, your name, address, email address and phone number are immediately made available to anyone who wants to see them? That’s right. Your personal information is exposed 24 hours a day, everyday, to anyone, anywhere.

You have the power to change this. With a private (unlisted) registration through Domains By Proxy® (our affiliate company), registering a domain name doesn’t mean sacrificing your privacy.

How it works

Your new or existing domain is registered in the name of Domains By Proxy — so their information is made public — not yours.

You retain full benefits of domain registration. You can cancel, sell, renew, or transfer your domain; set-up name servers for your domain; and resolve disputes involving your domain.

The patent-pending registration and email handling systems let you manage and control all postal mail and email addressed to the domain you have registered, as well as the domain’s contact information.

Your domain registration is safe and insured against loss.

But don’t even think about using a private registration to transmit spam, violate the law, or engage in morally objectionable activities.

Proven Protection

Domain-related spam

Identity theft and fraud

Harassers, stalkers, and data miners

“Moonlighting,” home- or side-business identity disclosure

Privacy intrusions

CartIt won’t allow Credit Card Expiration dates past 2012.

blacksheepinc — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 00:23:58 +0000

It really sucks that CartIt does not allow credit card expirations past 2012. This is a bug in CartIt. The original intent was to allow you to set the stop digit for the credit card expiration date. This was set in the cartitimg.util. If CartIt was working right, it would take the current year and then allow 12 years past it as expiration dates instead of going to just 2012.

The only good fix is to fix the error. In order to do that, you must have a good knowledge of Perl and CartIt. BSNR.net makes it easy for you. For $50.00, they will solve this bug for you. All you have to do is go to BSNR.net and purchase an hour of support time. Then submit a support request asking for this bug to be fixed. They will take it from there.

Transferring a domain name.

blacksheepinc — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 19:27:14 +0000

Transferring a domain name to us often takes five days or less, but transfers may take up to seven days to complete. To transfer a domain name, we need some assistance from you.

Domain Transfer Process:

You should advise your administrative contact that the domain name is being transferred.
We send an email message to your administrative contact by the next business day to request transfer approval.
When this acceptance is received, we send a transfer request to the registry.
The registry sends an email message to your current registrar.
Most likely, your current registrar sends your administrative contact an email message to ask for your approval of the transfer to our registry. Please respond as directed.
Your current registrar sends an acceptance or rejection notice to the registry.
The registry sends an email notice of the acceptance or rejection to us.
We send you an email message to inform you that the transfer is complete. Should the transfer fail, we will inform you.

Helpful hints:

ICANN regulations prohibit transferring a domain name that has been registered or previously transferred within the last 60 days.
Verify that the email address for the domain name’s administrative contact at your current registrar is correct. This is the address we are required to contact to request approval for the transfer.
After we have notified you that the transfer is complete, log on to your account and verify the contact information for your domain. Inaccurate or incomplete contact data may result in the cancellation of your domain name.
If the domain name is locked, the transfer will fail. Contact your current registrar in order to unlock your domain name.
