Hey everyone, let me tell you about something - someone made a pretty cool website with a .net domain, but he is not interested anymore and is willing to hand it over to me. I thought, why not give it a shot?

Now I have some questions:

1. Domains in .net zone are send by push, from one account to another, so will I become the actual owner of the domain or just get the rights to manage it? Will my name appear in the Whois information or will it still show the original buyer?

2. Can the domain be moved to a different account with another registrar after it has been pushed?

Right now, these two matters are the most important, and I will ask more questions later as things go along.

1. When a .net domain is sent by push, you will indeed become the actual owner of the domain. The push process transfers the management rights from one account to another under the same registrar. Once the transfer is complete, you should be able to change the Whois information to reflect your name and contact details. However, some registrars might have a delay or specific requirements for updating the Whois info, so it's best to check with the registrar's customer support to ensure everything goes smoothly. The original buyer's information will not appear if you successfully update it.

2. Yes, after the domain has been pushed to your account, you can definitely move it to a different account with another registrar. Typically, you would need to unlock the domain and get an authorization code from the current registrar before you can initiate the transfer to another registrar. Keep in mind that there may be a 60-day lock period after a push where you won't be able to transfer it out, depending on the registrar's policies. So, it's good to confirm those details to avoid any suprises.

I wish the "guy" is aware that he is planning to hand over a domain or website to you. It's really important that he understand his own intentions in this matter.

I would say that only those in the advertising field can truly speak on how advertisers view their campaigns.

In my opinion, when a website gets good traffic, mainly if it's related to a specific topic, the actual domain name isn't very important. I also believe this view is shared by other advertisers.
