Hello - Newbie here
I have owned a .com web domain name since 2000 through another registration company. I have tried several times to use the site and they tell me that I cannot use it for commercial Purposes.
In my last dealing with them I attempted to get information about how to move the registration to somewhere that I could use it. After all, why would I want to have it if I cannot use it. The phone rep continued to circle me around, refusing to answer directly, telling me that until it expires in 2010 that I am stuck with what I have. I attempted to set up simple pages giving information and leading to another site where I sell items and was shut down, since that was using the site for commercial purpose.
I have read the switching domain registration thread here at BV and will follow those steps to attempt to prepare to do so before I sign up.
My Question -- Can they stop me from doing so? I am the administrative contact -- I have access to my account.
The BV FAQ states " All initiated transfers will require a confirmation e-mail which is sent to the administrator of the domain name, which must be approved."
After the last contact with them, I have a feeling it will not go easily. I fear they will again tell me that it connot be done. I am not technically **** enough about this subject to argue intelligently with them as they start throwing out Server terms and IP Numbers - protocol terms etc etc. Any other details about what I should know or say would be appreciated to help me get this confirmation email from them.
Thanks
