Junk mail, & transferring domain names
CapitalOne really wants my business. I have received so many offers from them, each with better APR than the previous one, and each with a better design offering than before.
I recently started a domain transfer from enom over to Godaddy, on the day the domain was supposed to expire. Customer support said that the transfer would not happen as the domain has expired, and that I should renew it at the current registrar. However, the domain has been renewed correctly and transferred [a domain gets a year added to it whenever it is transferred].
Tip of the day : A domain name can still be transferred on the day it is expiring, even if the process continues onto the next day or next few days. Go ahead and start the domain name transfer, even if it is the last day. Your new registrar should refund you the transfer fees if the transfer is not completed successfully.
Also, if you do not try to transfer and renew the domain name at its current registrar, you will have to wait 60 days before you are allowed to transfer the domain name. This rule applies to each and every domain registrar.
