Switching Domain from Godaddy to WA

So, I got a little frustrated switching a domain from Godaddy to WA...

The process is simple enough, but of course Godaddy has a double, or really, a triple confirmation process.

One is getting the code emailed and then going to paste that code into WA... simple enough.

Two is confirming the switch by email from Godaddy...

And I thought I was on my way!

But Three, they didn't email any notification or indicate in the instruction, that you actually have to log into Godaddy after confirming by email, and confirm and activate the transfer again from the account domain settings.

It cost me 5 days of productivity... lol

Hope it helps!

Hi Ty,

Thanks for the heads up. I have to switch my domain from Godaddy so I have to remember this information. Greatly appreciated!

Much success to you!

Kind regards,
Nichola

Did you seek out our site support? Bluehost made it a little hard to transfer one, but Site support assisted and done in less than 48 hrs.

Yes! They were very helpful and answered all my questions... which got me back to Godaddy and figure it out. WA support was great!! Thanks

Hope they work it out for you overall at Godaddy.

I believe GoDaddy tries to make it tough for you to leave.

I had trouble with this over a year ago. In the end I gave up. Personally I believe GoDaddy do this deliberately . Jim

Do they still make you wait 60 days to transfer?

Ohhhh I'm glad they didn't... but I'm sure they would have let it happen... I think that's if you do a lock of some sort... WA support was great!!

Been there and done that. It was a pain but got 'er done. Godaddy doesn't have subscribers, they have hostages! lol

hahaha I felt like it!! Thanks

Hi Ty! I feel your pain. I've gone through the GoDaddy transfer process too. I was successful, but like you, I also lost time zig-zagging around. Now on to more interesting and fun adventures! :)

All the best to you!

They don’t want you to leave!
Hope it all worked out.
