Transferring a .UK domain name is a straightforward process, but it requires specific steps to ensure a smooth transition from your current registrar to the new one. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you through the process:
1. Initiate the Transfer at the Current Registrar
- Login to Your Current Registrar's Control Panel: Begin by logging into the account where your .UK domain name is currently managed.
- Locate the Transfer Option: Look for the option to transfer or update the IPS Tag (this might be listed under domain management settings or a similar section).
- Provide the Gaining Registrar's IPS Tag: To transfer a .UK domain, you need to specify the IPS Tag of the Gaining (New) Registrar. This is a unique identifier used in the .UK domain namespace to facilitate the transfer.
- Enter the IPS Tag: For transferring your domain to Domain India, enter the IPS Tag
PDR-IN. This ensures that your domain will be transferred to our management.
2. Confirm the Transfer
- Confirm the Transfer Request: Once the IPS Tag has been updated, the transfer process will begin. Make sure to confirm any additional prompts from your current registrar to finalize the transfer.
3. Completion of Transfer
- Await Confirmation: After updating the IPS Tag, the transfer will typically be completed within a few hours, although it can take up to 24 hours. You will receive a confirmation email once the transfer is successful.
- Check Your Domain Management Console: After the transfer, you can manage your .UK domain through your Domain India account.
Important Notes:
- No EPP Code Required: Unlike other domain extensions, transferring a .UK domain does not require an EPP/Auth code.
- Ensure Domain is Unlocked: Before initiating the transfer, ensure that your domain is not locked or has any outstanding issues with the current registrar.
- Transfer Fees: Check with your current registrar for any fees associated with transferring your .UK domain.
