<\/p>\n
We recently had 2 domains sitting by themselves in a NameCheap.com<\/strong><\/a> account. While we are all for diversification, we felt we were losing money whenever it was time to renew. We have many domains at GoDaddy.com<\/strong><\/a>, so whenever we renew of a set, and we use coupon codes to get a discount (you can use coupon code cjc30c<\/strong><\/a> at GoDaddy on your next order).<\/p>\n So, today, we decided it was time to transfer our two lone domains from NameCheap to GoDaddy. GoDaddy charges about $8 per domain, but gives you 1 extra year of registration on top of what you have left. When you add the discount, it comes out to very cheap.<\/p>\n It must be said that we’ve never had a problem with namecheap for the 3+ years we had our domains there. Plus we’ve always liked the fact that they don’t try to up-sell you a bunch of stuff like GoDaddy does every time you renew. However, we decided to transfer out because it’s easier to manage all our domains from one place.<\/p>\n Here are the steps you need to take:<\/p>\n Based on ICANN rules, they have up to 5 days to accept; this delay allows to prevent fraud transfers (or to change your mind). But they will usually send you an email within 1 day asking you whether you whether you accept the transfer.<\/p>\n That’s it, that’s all, your domain(s) will now be in your GoDaddy Account.<\/p>\n\n
