Hi guys,
Needs some help with a domain change within Godaddy. We requested the guys holding a domain to change it to us (Godaddy Account Change). They provided us with domains Authorization Info and insisted that's all we need. I did my research and couldn't figure out to do that. I'm not convinced that this authorization info will do for an account change; I only know one way of doing the account change. (I know it's necessary for domain transfers between registrars). Could I be missing something? Please help.
If you are a "registrar" (if you have a domain registration account with providers like GoDaddy, eNomCentral, Tucows) then that is all you need. Just login to your registry and initiate a domain transfer (this is what they are forcing you to do). With the Auth Code, you are good to go. However, if you are not a registrar at all, then tell them so and inform them that the only change you need is DNS Servers (I suppose that's what you mean by "change it to us") ..wait a moment ... you need Account Change within GoDaddy? Then I think they are right - you should proceed with the "internal" Domain Transfer using the Auth Code. Anyway, it's a long time since I dealt with domain registration/transfers so I could be wrong.
