    I bought a site and the person says that the domain is registered at ipowerweb and it will take 14-21 days to transfer it to me. I have never heard of a waiting period

    Thank you for your reply. I usually do transfers through GoDaddy and they have never taken long

    That is too long for a Domain transfer.

    Heard 3 to 4 days or Max 5 days.

    thanks

    That's a long time to wait for a domain transfer, the longest I've heard of was 3-4 days wait.

    I heard 2 to 3 days max. Donno why that is so long. But I guess it depends on the service you are taking.

    Why transfer it at all? If you create an account at their registrar, they can usually 'push' the domain onto your account for free, and you can go in and chang the nameservers and contact information immediatly.

    It's only when the domain is being transferred from one registrar to another that there's usually a waiting period.
