I transfered some domains from 1 and 1 to GoDaddy on Friday and the went down.

If I do an nslookup I get a message non-existent doamin.

1 and 1 told me they remove the ns information of tranfered domains and that my domains will be down until the transfer is complete in 5-7 days.

Isn’t this illegal and outrageous?
I have 50 or more domains with them and i am going to move them all but this downtime is going to cost me bigtime.

They are still blocking transfers following changes in WHO IS information. I wanted to transfer 800 domains to a new LLC I formed and was told the entire portfolio would be locked down for 60 days if I changed the WHO IS information to reflect ownership of the domains by the new LLC.

GoDaddy is back to blocking transfers, if you update the WHOIS contact info. Our domain transfers were denied, with the excuse from GoDaddy “…may be the result of a pending or recently completed Change of Registered Name Holder.”

This flies in the face of ICANN’s Advisory, which states “A registrant change to Whois information is not a valid basis for denying a transfer request.”

This is insane.
