Changing name server for a .biz domain name

[Foamcow]

Does anyone have any knowledge as to whether it is especially difficult to change nameservers for .biz domain names?

I have a client who is trying to do so and he is being told that "it's not that easy with a .biz" by his current domain host.

Any ideas why?

Quite simply, the host is not telling the truth.

Changing the nameservers for a biz domain is exactly the same as changing it for a com/net or similar.

If you were transferring the domain to another registrar, you need a Domain Secret/Auth Code but that is the same for org domains and really isn't anything difficult.

Hope this helps

Thanks Wullie,

I thought as much.
I checked out an FAQ at NueLevel who I believe are the registry for .biz domains. They say that the registrar (under instruction from the customer) must email them with the instruction to make a change. They then change the domain record.

Not hard really.

Turns out it was very simple after all.

I called the domain host at lunchtime, told them the story and the site was live by the end of the day.

Problem solved and another ground breaking piece of web design goes online ;-)
