This is my first experience with DreamHost<\/a> and I am super impressed with the simplicity of their management UI, the competence of their tech support, and their free LetsEncrypt Certificates. I can have SSL even on domains that are only a HTTP redirect (I have a lot of those).<\/p>\n When you transfer a domain, there are lots of emails that go back and forth. Most of those make perfect sense sense. But there is one mail you get *after* the transfer is complete that completely looks like spam but turns out to be essential.<\/p>\n The mail is from enom@dreamhost.com<\/b> (not what the DreamHost documentation claims) and has a subject line of:<\/p>\n And the text looks something like this (yes the question marks are there).<\/p>\n You are supposed to click on a link to raa.name-services.com<\/b> to verify the domain. Here is a screen shot<\/a> of the mail.<\/p>\n My “WOAH THERE THIS MUST BE SPAM” detector went off like crazy. I Googled around a bit and many folks felt it was Spam. So I just deleted them and went about my day.<\/p>\n TL;DR This message is not spam<\/b><\/p>\n Somewhat later I went into my DreamHost account and saw this under Domains -> Registrations<\/b><\/p>\nTransferring Domains<\/h1>\n
