Web.com support

[Eric Tykwinski via NANOG <nanog () nanog org>]

I just had a customer transfer a domain from Web.com <http://web.com/> to NameCheap.com <http://namecheap.com/>.  
The domain just released today and web.com <http://web.com/> deleted all DNS records, so I’m unable to log into 
NameCheap to change DNS because they use email 2FA.

I called into NameCheap and they allowed me in, but is there any rules saying that the DNS zone should be at least up 
for 24 hours or something after a pending transfer is completed?
