Hey all,
I gotta ask this - as it is driving me nuts.
I was asked to purchase a couple of domains by my boss - one .org and one .tv, we have paid half up front (a fairly large chunk) and were going to pay the rest on completion of transfers. The current owners are using Name.com.
The .org transfer went OK (some issues with whois visibility but we worked around that), upon asking why the .tv hadn't gone through Name.com support responded with:
"Hello,
Thank you for contacting us. At the present, the .tv registry does not
offer or support the transfer of .tv domains. This will undoubtedly be
implemented in the future, but we cannot be specific as to when.
We apologize for any inconvenince this may have caused and thank you
for choosing Name.com!
Best Regards,
(name of support bod)
Name.com"
Our gaining registrar says that is nonsense - and that she personally had been transferring .tv domains in and out for 6 years without problem. So we are at an impasse. I have asked our gaining registrar to report this to ICANN, but they are less than enthusiastic about pursuing it.
Can anyone confirm or deny what they are saying? Anyone else heard anything along these lines?
Cheers all..
