Answer

If you are transferring from GoDaddy.com, here are some tips to help ensure your transfer is successful.
1) After you approve Webservio's confirmation email, you will also receive a confirmation message from GoDaddy.com.
2) GoDaddy will send their confirmation email to 'AdminContactVariable.'
3) You will have 72 hours to approve the email that GoDaddy sends you.
4) For .biz, .info or .org domains you must contact GoDaddy.com to obtain your Authcode for the domain (needed for transfer).

Note:
45/60 Day Holds:
o If a domain is transferred to GoDaddy, they will put a transfer hold on the domain for 60 days.
o If there has been an ownership change, the domain cannot be transferred for 60 days.
o If domain was renewed after the expiry date, the domain cannot be transferred during the 45 day grace period after the expiry date.
Auth Codes: .biz, .info & .us domain names will be charged for the second year renewal if they are transferred away from GoDaddy in the first year
