Transferring a co.uk Domain Name to UK Superweb

To start a domain name transfer from another registrar you must be the registered owner of the domain you want to move. To find out about any domain you can perform a search on our domain name whois and within a few clicks you will know the legal current registrant.

Get the ball rolling now with a-hands on approach and see your domain name transfer request completed quickly and easily with no hassle. By following the procedures outlined by us your domain will safely move between registrars allowing you to get on with your web business. Here we will remove any grey areas currently clouding your understanding and help you see clearly allowing you to move forward with confidence and take control for good.

You need to compose a letter confirming you wish to change the IPS Tag on your-domain-name.co.uk to UKSUPERWEB (case sensitive), state that you wish for this to be done immediately. The letter must be on company letter headed paper or if your domain name is personal on paper headed with your name and address, in both cases a signature is required. Now email your letter, fax it, post it and then call your current provider informing them you wish to transfer your domain name. By calling as well this will help to speed up the process by making the current registrar aware of what you are doing. Calling without sending a signed letter first will not achieve your goal as proof of ownership is required for security purposes.

The moment your domains IPS Tag is changed by the current administration contact to UKSUPERWEB (all capital letters) we will be informed automatically directly from Nominet the .uk registry.

In the event your current registrar is not releasing your domain name!

48 hour IPS TAG Changes, if your current registrar is slow to release or just not releasing your domain name for whatever reason you can take action. It is essential though that you are detailed on the domain name whois as the current registered owner, as long as this is the case all is not lost. By completing the step-by-step process on the Nominet website and paying a £10 fee your domain can be moved overriding your registrar. Complete the change agent process and pay online directly on the Nominet website, you will still need to send the fax or post it but this time directly to Nominet. On the change agent page on the Nominet website select 'Start a new registrar change request' after you have read the information about the process involved.

Your current registrar has registered your domain name to them!

This is very rare but does happen, in the unlikely event that your domain name has been registered to another party there is still light we can shed on this matter. You will need to provide proof of purchase for your domain, in any case an invoice from the registrar controlling the domain is the best evidence you can supply. If this is not possible then you may be able to supply a bank statement showing payment for the domain, backed up with a clear trail of email communication’s confirming the purchase.

What does IPS Tag stand for
IPS stands for “Internet Provider Security” (Tag). An IPS Tag is a case sensitive label that applies to each ISP and is required to transfer a domain name from one ISP to another. All ISP’s are provided with a Tag when applying to become an ISP.
