Today, I was a little hard on godaddy because I found a more suitable web host, but I want to give godaddy a little credit.

Somehow years ago, I created two godaddy accounts. I don’t remember how or why this happened, but its so annoying. I’ve always wanted to move those domains to a single account, but short of letting them expire or going through a complicated process similar to selling I couldn’t find out how to do it. It was an annoyance so I wasn’t about to spend a lot of time on it.

Yesterday, while moving web hosts, I discovered a some what recent godaddy feature. You can move your domains to another godaddy account. Their support system didn’t really explain how it works, so I’m going to try to explain it from memory.

1. I found a transfer/move option, one of them was to another godaddy account.

2. It asked me to enter the godaddy account’s username I was going to transfer it to.

3. It then required that I put in some contact information for the new account.

4. I signed off that I wasn’t going to change registars within 60 days and some other warnings.

5. I then received a few emails from godaddy, as they began to process it.

6. About 10 mintues into the process, on the account i was going to transfer them I was able to accept it. I had to complete the same forms again.

7. All done! It took about 3 minutes of actual work and about 20 minutes of godaddy processing time.

Thanks godaddy!
