Bulk transfer auth codes — Moniker enables

Bulk transfer auth codes — Moniker enables

Moniker makes it easier to transfer domain names to another registrar.

It’s been a frustrating six weeks for Moniker clients. Following a disastrous switch to a completely fresh registrar platform, many clients wanted to move their domain names to another registrar.

moniker-auth-codesAdding insult to injury, there was no way to get transfer authorization codes in bulk. Instead, clients had to request them one-by-one.

Finally, some good news for clients: Moniker has added bulk auth code exporting. I’m not quite sure when this was added, but I spotted it this morning when I tried to transfer another bunch of domains.

First, you need to unlock all of the domains you want to transfer. (I was able to unlock a couple hundred without any errors this stretch, which is also good news.) Then, select “Export Authcodes” from the drop down menu. Moniker will email the auth codes to you for the selected domains.

The confirmation page states you’ll receive an email with the auth codes within “minutes”. Be patient; in my case it took regarding 30 minutes.
