How do I transfer my domain name from Namesco

Submitted by esadmin on Wed, 29/07/2009 - 18:12

If you are looking to consolidate your domain name into one place you will need to transfer them from your existing registrar to our systems. Here are instructions on transferring your domain names from FastHosts or UKReg to Cheap Business Hosting.

Please note that some companies charge a release fee so please check with your current provider to see what charges they may impose. Also some registries or governing bodies charge a transfer fee, others are free - any costs that we incur to transfer your domain name(s) are charged to your account and will be clearly shown at the time of order. Form example Nominet, the UK registry, do not charge to transfer but domains such as .com, .net, .org do charge a transfer fee, normally equal to 1 years registration cost and will be clearly shown at the time of order.  This transfer cost extends your domain name registration by 1 year and so is not an administrative fee!

Transfer your .UK domains (co.uk, me.uk, org.uk, plc.uk, ltd.uk, net.uk)

Please Note : NAMSCO charge an Administration Fee to Transfer Domains

  4. Click "DNS & Transfer Option"
