How to transfer your domain FROM ipower
Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008Gradually continuing to untangle myself from ipower and their increasingly atrocious hosting. I foolishly registered the domain of the other site I run with ipower. I wasn’t aware of the risks or consequences involved with this at the time but I successfully transfered the domain to name.com last week. I can now proceed with moving the site to a new host without fear of losing the domain, and should probably do it soon.
Most of what I found on the web were people who were NOT succeeding and losing their domains to ipower, or last ditch efforts that involve threatening legal action and such. Never found anything that outlined how to actually transfer the domain, so I figured I’d write something up in terms of how to do it. (To be clear, I don’t know if people who let domains go to ipower or who “lost” them actually did so because of bad, unfair business practices on ipower’s part, or their lack of knowledge as to how to transfer the domains.)
