1. What's the difference between a regular domain transfer and a domain push? 

Domains can be pushed from one Enom account to another.  The push is instant.  You do not have to wait the standard 5 days for the transfer to complete.  Warning: Once the push is successful, only the new account holder can push back.  If you push the domain to the wrong account, you would need the new account holder's agreement to have the domain pushed back.  

If you don't want to push from one reseller account to another, you can initiate a regular transfer.  If you choose the regular transfer method, the same cost and rules apply as other regular transfers.

2. How do I enable push on my account?

Domain pushing is now disabled by default on all accounts. You will need to reach out to Support to enable pushing through your account to another account. 

The rationale behind limiting access to this feature is to avoid situations where a registrant has shared contact details with their original reseller, and without that registrant being aware of it their details end up with a new reseller who they have no contract with, and never agreed to having their data.

Please submit a Verified Support Request to our Support Team so we can update your account for the push. If you are pushing to another account (not part of your company, or not a sub account in Enom) please have the gaining account also submit a Verified Support Request from their account to allow the push.

3. How do I push domains to other Enom accounts?

Once you've reached out to Support to have push enabled, domains can only be pushed by the losing account holder.  To push a currently registered domain into another account:

1. Log into your account.
2. Select Domains > Bulk Tools > Bulk Push
3. Domains To Push: list the domains you would like to push, one per line.
4. Push Domains To: Login ID of the account you wish to push to.
5. Contact Information: Either the current domain contact information will Push With The Domain, or you can select Do not push and the domain will take on the contact information of the gaining account.
6. Click Submit. 

​Please verify LOGIN ID before you hit Submit.  All pushes are final.

5. My domain is under a 60 day transfer hold, can I still push it? 

Yes.  You can still push the domain even if it's newly registered or still under the 60 day contact change hold.

6. Who gets notified when a domain is pushed? 

The only entity notified is the losing account's email address.  The notification email has the following content:

 
Dear Jane Smith,

exampledomain.net was pushed from your account losingAccountUserName to gainingAccountUserName:

This push was completed on 2017-10-12 12:09:36.770 PST.  Please keep this email for your records.

Sincerely,
Enom, Inc.

7. I got an error saying my push was not successful, why? 

There are a number of reasons why the push may fail. See the errors below for more information:

1. In this case the gaining account has not completely filled out its contact information and will need to do so before the domain can be pushed successfully.
   
2. This message means that the domain was not in your account when the push was submitted. Most often this occurs if the push is attempted twice in rapid succession.
   
3. You will most often see this error if you have the domain listed for sale as a premium domain within your account or if the domain is in a Hold status. You may need to contact support to find out exactly why the domain cannot be pushed.
