Transfer domain names from Dotster to UK Superweb

To make sure your domain name can be transferred, check the following:

• The domain name has been registered for at least 60 days, and has been at Dotster for at least 60 days.
• The domain name is not in "client update prohibited" status.

Before you can transfer a domain, the Registrant and Administrative contact information must be up-to-date at Dotster, because it is these contacts who receive the transfer request and okay the transfer.

1. Log on to your account at Dotster.com.
2. click the "My Domains" tab.
3. Select the check boxes of the domain you want authorisation codes for, or click "Select All".
4. Open the "Step 2" menu and click "Change Contact Information".
5. Click "Registrant" or "Administrative". The Registrant and Administrative contacts, especially the email addresses, must be correct to approve transfers. If you want to apply the same changes to the other contact types, select the check boxes next to the contacts. Click "Update".
6. To finalize the change, click "Yes".

Some TLDs require that you provide an authorisation code for your domain name, to provide an extra level of assurance that the transfer request comes from an authorised source.

1. Log on to your account at Dotster.com.
2. Click the "My Domains" tab.
3. Select the check box next to the domain name you want to transfer.
4. Open the "Step 2" menu and click "Retrieve authorisation Code".
5. Click "Go". Dotster's system sends an email containing the authorisation code to the domain registrant.

Contact Dotster and ask them to retag the domain name to ISP tag UKSUPERWEB (all caps). Alternatively, you can retag/detag directly through Nominet, for a fee. When you transfer a .uk domain name, use the Auto verification transfer method. You can submit the transfer requests to UK Superweb and Dotster in any order. If you submit the transfer request to UK Superweb first, you must submit the request to Dotster within a week. If you submit the transfer request to Dotster first, you must submit the request to UK Superweb by the next 8th day of the calendar month.

Transfers of TLDs other than those named above do not require any codes or tags.

Before you can transfer a domain away from Dotster, the domain must be unlocked. Locking is a feature most registrars offer to prevent unauthorised transfers (hijacking) of domains.

1. Log on to your account at Dotster.com.
2. Click the "My Domains" tab.
3. Select the check box next to the domain name you want to transfer.
4. Open the "Step 2" menu and click "Unlock these domains".

Once you have prepared the domain name at Dotster, you're ready to transfer to UK Superweb.
