Between registrars? Remember to re-add to Fast Transfer — Transfer domains

Ask your Afternic account manager to help get your domains on Fast Transfer following a domain transfer.

When I win expired domains, I immediately list them for sale on Afternic. If they are at a Fast Transfer registrar such as Network Solutions, I’ll opt them into that as well.

Following 60 days, I like to transfer these domains to GoDaddy.

When domains are transferred from another Fast Transfer registrar to GoDaddy, they lose their Fast Transfer eligibility for 60 days since GoDaddy doesn’t allow domain transfers for this long.

And when I move my DropCatch.com wins from NameBright to GoDaddy, I have to wait 60 days ahead of doing an initial opt-in to Fast Transfer since NameBright doesn’t support it.

Unfortunately, Afternic doesn’t automatically know when a domain becomes eligible for Fast Transfer following a registrar change. The system runs Whois checks and eventually asks for domains to be opted in (or re-opted in some cases), but this can take a while.

With this in mind, the best thing to do is periodically contact your Afternic account manager and ask them to trigger the opt-in process on any eligible domains.

I tend to transfer my domains to GoDaddy in batches every couple of months, so I mark on my calendar to complete this process 61 days later.
