After dealing with a few years of the registrar that ate the registrar that ate the original registrar of my domain, and their continued inability to get me access to anything like a user account (although they'd still take my money and do simple corrections via email), I've decided to swap over to GoDaddy. There may be some lumps in the process, though, so if you try to go to a dvandom.com address this November and it doesn't work, try dvandom.info instead.

I work for a web hosting company and registrar!

But um. Well I guess you already registered the new domain.

If the current company (eNom) is being unpleasant I am not certain what you might do. I do not actually work in the domain registration part of the company.

It's not that they're being unpleasant, per se...just that they're being incapable of fixing a problem. It's your basic catch-22...my email address changed subtly from what they have, and they can't change it unless I can send email from the old address, which I have been unable to do. The humans recognize that the email is essentially the same, but the machine won't. Part of the problem is that "eaten by" chain that left them with some weird legacy code they either can't fix or can't be arsed to fix, neither of which fills me with reassurance for the long term.

I was curious, so I asked. Here's what the reg guy here said:

"If the e-mail address isn't currently active, a transfer won't be
possible. I'd ask if the current registrar has some other method of
authenticating the request, like faxing verification of identity."

Yep. I'm using GoDaddy's "grab an inactive domain" service on this.

So you'll have a WWE Diva spinning around slowly on your domain now?

I've used them for years...the only disapointment I've had is that you don't get a Go Daddy girl poster when you join:(
