Transferring a .UK Domain

In most cases, the registrant of the domain name will themselves have the authority to transfer it.

You can find out which member of Nominet UK has control over the domain name by performing a "Whois" search using the facility provided by Nominet UK at http://www.nic.uk. This will provide you with all the necessary contact details in order to proceed with the transfer.

Once you have identified the controlling member of the domain name, you will need to contact them and ask if they can transfer it to a new ISP. This can usually be done via a fax.

You should instruct them to release the domain name to IPS Tag ALTAIRE, specifying the DSN details as follows:-
Primary Named Server :   ns1.pc-initiative.co.uk  80.243.176.78
Secondary Named Server :   ns2.pc-initiative.co.uk  80.243.177.133
Once it has been transferred to our servers, a propagation period of 24 to 48 hours should be allowed in order for all servers and routers to see your web site.
 
Transferring International Domains (.com, .net and .org)


International domains can usually only be transferred by the admin contact or registrant of the domain name. To find out all the necessary details to proceed with the transfer, use the service provided by InterNic at http://www.internic.net/whois.html.

You will need to liase with the admin contact, and ask them if they will agree to transfer the domain name. If you cannot get hold of either the admin contact or the registrant, you can call InterNic on 0800 298 2333 for further information.

The registrant will need to send a transfer document to the current ISP provider on company header paper to the admin contact for the domain you are wishing to transfer. The documentation should specify the domain name, registrant contact and the named domain servers to transfer to as follows:-
 
Primary Named Server :   ns1.pc-initiative.co.uk  80.243.176.78
Secondary Named Server :   ns2.pc-initiative.co.uk  80.243.177.133
  Please also include the following additional information with your transfer document:-
 
Technical IP handle :   your details
Admin IP handle :   your details
Billing Account IP handle :  PC Initiative Ltd,
35 Markfield Lane, Newtown Linford, Leicestershire, ENGLAND LE6 0AB
  Once you have permission to transfer the domain name, contact PC Initiative, and we will give you the necessary instructions to complete the transfer. By law the legal owner of the domain must be the one who writes to the old ISP requesting the transfer.

When the transfer is complete, please allow 48 to 72 hours for propagation of your web site.
