    Wix would not help me transfer the domain bc my old email was deleted and they told me the ONLY way to do it would be to update and wait 60 days. For this reason I am just letting it go and have a new one.

    I’ve read that I need to connect my domain name to Wix before transferring my domain name. I have done what I have to in order to connect it but it says it takes 48 hours to connect. Do I wait the 48 hours for it to connect or can I transfer my domain name now since I’ve gone through the steps to connect it already?

    • @Craylor
      @Craylor  Před 2 lety +1

      You should be good to transfer it now. The new registrar will get the nameserver records from the old registrar even if the public view hasn’t updated yet.

    I'm transferring my domain from Wordpress to Squarespace. They told me that the transfer would be completed December 19th, which is today. So I told people that my new Squarespace website would go live today. However the transfer still hasn't happened yet which is pissing me off. I have been waiting for days now. Is there anything I can do to speed this up?

      @@Craylor Unless you did what I did. I changed the namesevers to the new hosting site BEFORE initiating the transfer away from Godaddy. I didn't know about the very long delay of at least 5 to 7 days. It's my work domain too - so I've probably lost my work email for at least 5 to 7 days. =(

    I don't know where your able to opt out of the 60 day waiting period. I just today was told there was no way, even though Network Solutions forgot to move it from NS-managed SnapNames/Enom464, inc for 37 days!! (Of course they blamed it on ICANN)
    Bought at auction 4/30 at snapnames. They showed site held by eNom465/Network Solutions on that date. NS sends an email on 6/6 saying they've created a new account for my domain. ! 37 freakin' days! So I have to wait until 8/6 for my 60 days to expire.
    EDIT: YAY! I now see you list Dynadot! My man. Now I'll have to check Cloudflare out, see if I can use there CDN w/o too much trouble. It sounds complicated, especially for an established site; but I need to 'obfuscate' my DNS since all my domains will soon be on one reseller hosting account. Hard to build a PBN if their all on the same main dns!
    Nice and smooth instructions for noobs. Thanks Craylor.
