My view about Dynadot!

I have been using dynadot since a year. It has good feature like simple interface, simple steps, easy to use, domain deletion and refund, cheap pricing, promo etc.

But one thing I dont like is "buy lock".

Can anybody explain what is the use of this buy lock?
What is the use of buying the domain when I can't control it?

I bought a couple of domain a month ago but they are all buy locked and i no longer can push this domain to my friend who has already paid for it. This is the worst part of it. I cant see any registrar with this feature of buy lock.

Thanks

We own the domain and we are not allowed to administer it! What's the use then?

After 60 days, how can u sure that there will be no fraud.

Just my opinion!

The buy lock is a fraud prevention measure.

It only prevents you from moving the domain to another account. You are still able to set Name Servers, update WHOIS records and change DNS settings.

Stop replying if you donot know?

I know We have to wait 60 days for the transfer between registrars.!

But in the ICann policy there is not any rules, we have to wait 60 days for transfer inside a registrar.

There is not any registrar (ICANN accredited) than dynadot, which do not allow account push for 60 days!

This affects all registrars, not just Dynadot.

Read this :
http://www.icann.org/transfers/dnholder-faq-03nov04.htm

The Inter-Registrar transfer Policy, applicable to all ICANN-accredited registrars, provides that registered name holders must be able to transfer their domain name registrations between registrars. You must wait 60 days after the initial registration or any previous transfers to initiate a transfer.

Hey,
I am talking about buy locked.. in which you cannot unlock your domain for 60 days.(even with entering birthdate).

buy lock and transfer lock are different.

this is the worst part of dynadot and I hate this feature.....

The only domain lock available is Transfer Lock. It's a security feature that prevents somebody else from hijacking your domain. To disable it when you're logged in, go to the Domain Info web page of the domain in question. Scroll down to the Transfer Lock section. Enter your birth date, check the No box after "Lock domain?", then click the Submit button. The web page refreshes. Scroll back down to the Transfer Lock section. A transfer code number is listed that you can give to the person and/or registrar that the domain is being transferred to.
