.UK - .co.uk .org.uk .me.uk. uk .ltd.uk .plc.uk .net.uk - Nominet Domains
We have spoken extensively with Nominet (the UK naming authority) , over the necessary steps to quickly move your domain name away from your existing hosts or to recover it from a bust/non-trading/vanished company.
To transfer your domain to Astutium from another registrar (including one who has ceased trading, does not respond or charges you to leave) you must ...
- Order the Domain Transfer at Incoming Domain Transfer
- Attempt to contact your existing host, by email , snailmail (letter) or fax, requesting that they change the IPSTAG of your domain to ASTUTIUM
You should keep proof that you have attempted to contact them. - Check if the TAG has been changed by doing a WHOIS search at Nominet WHOIS Tool
- If your registrar does not respond, has not made the TAG change within 48 hours, or if they try to charge for you moving the domain then contact Nominet on +44 (0)1865 332288
Ask them to guide you through their process for forcing a TAG change (they make a small charge for this service of £10+vat but for 1 fee and 1 update you can recover ALL your .uk domains)
If everthing is in order with your domain and they are aware your host has stopped trading they will transfer it to us (or guide you through their online system for you to handle the transfer) immediately.
If there is a problem - for example the Registrant identity cannot be validated, or if your host is still active but being obstructive, then they will need you to validate your identity with them by fax
