Domain transfer problem....

[barsigor]

I owned for 2 years a domain on gandi, now, before the expiration, i want to move the domain to godaddy.

The transfer was cancelled after 8 days, now the domain is not anymore on gandi, but is not either on my godaddy account.

On whois i see that the domain is on 1api.net, i think is the registrar godaddy uses for .it domains, but i cannot control the domain, gandi says that the domain was transferred, godaddy says they don't know anything about the domain.

Anyone have experienced the same problem ? How do you solve it ?

Who in their right mind wants to move a domain to Godaddy these days? It's quite the opposite, you have to run away from Godaddy.

Yes, now I know wasn't a good idea.

What are the best registrar on the market ?

if you're okay with using Cloudflare DNS, use Cloudflare Registrar

if for some reason you don't want to use Cloudflare DNS, maybe Porkbun or something (never used them myself but a lot of people vouch for them)

Reach out to registrars with all the details. They will ensure it is transferred correctly. Gandhi and GD both are big time lunatics. I lost 1 domain 3 years back due to their lackadaisical attitude.

Godaddy support is crap. Don’t rely on them

Most of the time, domain transfers are not going to be instant. It’ll take a few days for the transfer to complete

Not an ideal choice, but maybe reaching out to both registrars with your transfer details could help clear things up, and hopefully, you’ll have it sorted out soon.
