I've got domains at godaddy and a couple still at register.com

When the Icann announcment came out about transferring domains, I went to godaddy and clicked one or two buttons and poof, all of my domains were locked.

When I went to register.com... where I pay 35 dollars a year to keep a domain there... There wasn't anything on their site explaining how to do this. I finally found something in their FAQ area that said to fill out a request form.

I filled out their form and got a response back stating that they could not lock domains. WTF? Their own instructions told me to send the first request! So I responded and asked them why they gave instructions to lock domains, yet responded by telling me they cannot. The next day, I got another response telling me that they can now lock domains and that if I wanted to have my domain locked to fill out their form... You can see where this is going...

Well, after 4 days, I finally got my domain locked. What a clusterfuck! If I wasn't so concerned about the domains getting screwed up I'd transfer them away from register.com in a second!

Bottom line...
godaddy: A+
register: C-
