Apparently Bluehost doesn’t follow “Speed up procedure” so even for an authorized transfer we're subject to ICANN's mandated hold period?

I have never encountered this limitation before. Autho codes have always been provided to speed it up. I guess Bluehost continues to just be bad?

Bluehost says “the process” takes 5-7 days but is "often faster”. But if Namecheap can receive it in 30 minutes, clearly it's up to the prior registrar simply to release the domain, no?

Or is there actually some uncontrollable background process like propagation that needs to occur? It baffles me because that's a wild range of variability even for DNS.

Okay, someone who knows how domain registrars work…

Why does the transfer process take so long?

I have Bluehost telling me a transfer is approved with the auth code, so it should be transferrable right away. I have Namecheap telling me a domain can transfer in as little as 30 minutes once approved.

It's been almost 24 hours and all I'm told is we have to wait for “THE PROCESS” but no one will tell me what that is.

I made a thing and I'd quite like you to vote for it. It's a new Federated server that allows the public to share environmental data. All the details are on the page (plus my embarrassing video) and it's up for vote in the Hack for Humanity 2026.

Watch the video, read the gumph and if you've got the energy click the vote button.

Thanks all.

What made you choose your Fediverse Instance?

Why did you choose your Fediverse Instance, does it have a bigger meaning than it was a bigger instance or was it for a certain reason? Did you have to be on your instance you chose?

So, this may be a silly rabbit hole, but I'm annoyed that I've tried 4 search engines to no avail in the attempt to find a simple dog breed list with pictures that isn't AI-written clickbait and overwhelmed with dubious pop-up ads.

The origin of the question is, I had a dream recently that felt somehow significant even though the content was seemingly mundane, of a dog which I could only see the back end of (thankfully happily wagging).
From what I saw, I know of three likely options for what kind of dog: 1. German Shorthair Pointer 2. Red Doberman 3. Some kind of mixed breed with a natural bobtail( since people aren't as likely to cosmetically interfere with a mutt).

So, I'm asking, what other possibilities did I miss for a dark-brown, shorthaired and short-tailed dog? Feel free to boost for reach! #dogs #DogsOfMastodon #AskFediverse ( edited to fix hashtags)
