Off topic, but something I've wondered for a while. Maybe someone here knows :)
Years ago (13, to be exact) when I was young and didn't know anything and couldn't afford to buy a parked .com that made more sense, I registered a .ws domain at Godaddy of all places. It has subsequently become the e-mail address I use for everything.
Unfortunately, .ws doesn't really allow transfers. Now that there are all these non-evil registrars popping up, I'd like to switch to one of them, but I can't. Does anyone have any ideas about what if anything I could do? I suppose I could by another domain and forward the e-mail, but the whole point of having my own domain was that I wouldn't have to switch again :(

Please contact the registrar you would like to transfer to for instructions on how to proceed.
- tych0 8y agoUnfortunately nobody actually supports it. Dreamhost doesn't, Namecheap doesn't, etc. If you try, they all give you the same "The WS registry doesn't allow transfer of domains." error, because historically they have not.

- dguo 8y agoIt seems like GoDaddy allows transfers out. You just need a registrar that accepts them. https://www.godaddy.com/help/about-ws-domains-5860#2 https://www.godaddy.com/help/about-ws-domains-5860#2
