    I'm going to be transferring two of my domains from GoDaddy to Namecheap. I have never transferred registrars before so I'm a bit lost.

    Does anybody know of an article or tutorial? I tried searching but couldn't find anything.

    I feel so dumb.... but I just don't want to screw anything up. :lol:
    Any help is appreciated!

    Thanks Kevin! That was easy!

    Luckily, one of the domains I am transferring is one that I don't use for anything important, so I'm using it as the dummy account. If all goes well, then I will be moving my primary domain over as well.

    'Tis easier than I thought! :D

    Both transfers are complete. It's been a total of about 6 hours, which in my opinion, isn't bad at all.

    Overall it came out to $6.99 per domain for the transfer and free WhoisGuard protection.

    Very quick and easy, and I'm extremely satisfied. :)

    Why are the transfers being rejected? The only reason I can think of is if the domains with GoDaddy are locked.
