There are many reasons for why a domain registrant might transfer a domain name away from its current registrar. By the time the transfer has been initiated, it’s most likely too late for a registrar to *save* the customer / domain name. There should be no reason for a registrar to delay a transfer.

Some registrars take up to a week to release a domain name. They offer no mechanism for the customer to approve the domain name transfer, and it moves forward at whatever pace is set by the registrar.

Delete the Verification 3rd Nameserver

This morning, I received an email from Atom notifying me the nameservers for one of my domain names was not correctly set up. I remembered to change the nameservers when I added it to Atom, so I was confused by the email. I visited the domain name, and as Atom told me, the domain name resolved to its Afternic listing rather than its correct Atom listing.

A visit to my Namecheap control panel showed me what happened. While I had correctly changed NS1.Afternic / NS2.Afternic to the required Atom nameservers, I inadvertently left the Afternic verification nameserver resolving instead of deleting it. This caused the domain name to occasionally resolve to the previous landing page instead of the new one.
