I had read on NameBio.com Blog last week of the new "push" process that Godaddy.com is offering which I was happy to hear. The one thing I was not to happy about, was not getting "Official" word from Godaddy.com and letting it’s customers know of the process and how it worked.

Yesterday the new process made me look like an ass, and not knowing what I am doing, so I wanted to pass along to others on how the whole process works now.

For the receiving account holder, they will need to provide either there Godaddy account Login Name or Account Number along with an Email Address (the email address HAS to match the one listed on file for the account at Godaddy) to the entity doing the "push".

For the person doing the "push", you will need to select the domain name at Godaddy.com that you wish to push to the new owner and then click Change Account. Once on the Initiate Account Change page, enter the customers Customer Number or Login Name and Email Address. Then you have 3 options for the Domain’s Contact Information: Enter New Details, Use details from specified customer account or Do Not Change. I select the second one, Use details from specified customer account. After those details are in, Click Next. On the following page, click FINISH.

Then, the person receiving the "push" will get an email from Godaddy titled "Change of Registrant Pending". The old process included getting Two Codes in this email, but the new process does not. The new steps are as follows:

1. Go to the GoDaddy.com, Inc. home page and login, then select "My Account."
2.  Select "Pending Account Changes" located in the "My Account" box.
3. Check the domain(s) that you agree to change and then click "Quick Accept."
4. Accept the agreements and click "OK." The domains will be processed and should appear in your account shortly.

 If the Change of Account is not complete within 10 days, the transaction or Change of Account will expire.
 

Now here are some tips to solve any problems that I have seen..

• The email address that you put in is Case Sensative. Don’t ask me why, but it is!
• The email address put in HAS to match the email address On File at Godaddy for the person getting the "push".
• If you are unsure what your Customer Number is, click My Account, then on the upper left, you should see your Customer Number.
• If you are unsure what Email Address is listed on file as the Registrant, there really isn’t a way! Not that I could find anyway! You can click Domains/MyDomains and then click on domain name and look under the Registrant Info and use that email address, but that email address "Could" be different then the registrant email address on file. Your next option would be to call Godaddy.

I hope this is some help and I do think this new process will be easier for both the person doing the push and the entity getting the push, it will just take some time for people to get use to it.
