This How-to is missing the first step (disabling the "domain proxy") which GoDaddy automatically configured if you registered the domain in the past few years.
- log in to GD and go to the domain manager. Go to each domain individually and check to see if the domain privacy proxy is turned on. If it is, it means that your whois info is being proxied by http://domainsbyproxy.com/ http://domainsbyproxy.com/ (it seems to be a sister site to GD). You need to find your account number for DBP which they would have sent to you when you reg'd the domain. You need to login to DBP and disable the proxy for all of your domains.
- rsanheim 19y agoI had read from various places that if you do that you'll end up in the 60 day 'purgatory' where you can't transfer your domain. Why would you need to disable this feature in order to transfer -- does it implicitly lock you out from getting the auth code?
- delano 19y agoAs far as I know, the domain purgatory is only when it's close to it's expiry date. The reason you need to disable the domain proxy is because they replace your admin contact email address with one of theirs (they also replace your phone number and address with theirs). In order to receive the transfer request to your Administrative Contact email address, you need to turn off this proxy.
