<p class=MsoNormal>A few years ago I registered my domain name with
sharednic.com, which was cheap at the time ($15/year). Now I’d like to
transfer it to GoDaddy, but they tell me I need an “authorization code”
from my current registrar. I’ve been trying for more than 2 weeks to
reach someone at sharednic.com to get this information, and they don’t
respond to email or phone calls. I’ve emailed every address I can find
for them (web pages, whois database, emails they’ve sent me when I
originally registered, etc) and called their contact number in the UK, which is
answered by an answering machine.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>GoDady says they can’t process the transfer without
the code, even though I’ve used my control panel on sharednic.com to “unlock”
my domain; I thought that would be all I need to do….<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>It seems like my current registrar is just trying to ignore
me to force me to renew through them, but I don’t want to do business
with a company that has such lousy customer service.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Anyone have any advice how to make this work and get to
someone with (1) a US contact number that is (2) answered by a human being?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><br>
Thanks!<o:p></o:p></p>
