Cheers. I suppose that's all I really needed to know - as long as it is
very easy then I'll do some time between now and 2005 )

Depending on who the registrar is you may want to do it now as some
registrars will charge a small transfer fee and add a year to your
registration.

Yeah, I've looked into the costs, and GoDaddy currently charge just under
$8US and add an extra year - my current registrar doesn't charge any fees
to release, which is a good thing!

The only time I've ever had a problem with a GoDaddy transfer was when my
former webhost sold my domain registrations to another company (and didn't
bother to inform me). The new holder of my registrations put a lock on the
domain names and didn't respond to my e-mails. Fortunately, the top-level
registrar (Tucows, I believe) was sympathetic to my plight and removed the
lock so I could approve the transfer. After that, GoDaddy took over and the
registration went smoothly.

I would estimate that I've transferred at least 10 domain names to GoDaddy.
