Woohooo!
I got my domain transfered already! I was bored so I typed in my address --and wouldn't you know it --it went through to the FQ default index.html!!!! This was only two weeks (exactly 2), I was expecting 4!

So here I am, all happy and excited! Internic finally came through for me!

I am going to try to get the whole thing up before Feb. 18th...

Biffer,
You didn't by chance have to change any details before you transferred your domain did you ? I've got to the stage now wondering what'll come first; my domain transfer or the new millennium http://www.aota.net/ubb/wink.gif

Nope, no changes in info...
I just had to get it transferred from register.com to here.

What is your domain name DeanB? When did you star the transfer?

I started my transfer exactly 2 weeks ago and here I am... if it is taking longer than that or you started the transfer before me, you need to contact Internic. Contacting usually speeds things up somehow.

Contacting Internic ? Now there's a joke..
I had to go through the routine of faxing them with copies of driving license & utility bill just to change the admin contact email. Crazy. I'm still awaiting a response and a database update before FQuest can even begin the domain transfer @#&*%$"£!!!!!

Ugh! I know what you mean!

I have absolutely NO PATIENCE in contacting them, it is ridiculous!
When I call, I could wait in line with the phone for an hour! And it is NOT toll-free, it's a long distance #!!!

Better get out the 10-10-321 phone plan! http://www.aota.net/ubb/smile.gif LOL! Ü

You transfered from register.com - I take it that means it was sort of "on hold"? If so, was it ever a site before now? That could be why it went faster (I don't really know, I would just imagine transfering from one server to another would be more work than transfering from being on-hold).

I could just go to register.com and see. That would involve work. Work is bad. Me lazy http://www.vdj.net/2.gif

Hehe - I looked at them and I guess it was on hold. I would have to imagine that this means the transfer would take less time...

[Bi4Be]

Yes, it was on hold....

Hey, why are all my smileys upside
down?
LOL! Maybe because you're using your own smileys! I retrieve this from vdj.net: http://www.vdj.net/2.gif
We caught ya! http://www.aota.net/ubb/smile.gif LOL! Ü

Register.com is actually a great service, it will register your domain and put it on hold for free.

I made the mistake of doing this because I thought I would have to go to a host that charges a $50 setup fee, but waives it on trasfers. Of course I ended joing FQ, which has no setup fees, so the extra wait could have been avoided. Next time I will definately do it with FQ! Unfortunately I have already registered about 5-7 domains with Register.com for holding so my life will eventually be one big transfer.

Toodles,

It took awhile to get the correct emoticon, hence all the editing!

FQ is great - I filled out the online application on a Sunday afternoon, got a call from Terra on Sunday evening, and Monday morning I was on VDJ.Net. If I remember correctly... I was Woo Hooing that day too.

And I screwed up all this luck by making a typo in my email address! I still haven't changed it with Internic yet - I'm waiting until they get their @#$% straight first (I already paid them, though).

http://www.vdj.net/i.gif can see you...
