- IMPORTANT TRANSFER INFORMATION -

Transferring In

.UK Domains (.co.uk/.org.uk/.me.uk etc)

Place an order (transfer is free).

  1. Please contact your current registrar and ask them; -
    "To update the IPS TAG on yourdomain.uk to KRYSTAL"
    Your current registrar is contractually obliged to retag the domain in a "reasonable" time, though they may charge you for the "privilege"
  2. You may be asked to provide nameserver information, if so you can find it here.
  3. Relax! Leave the rest to us. We will configure the domain to work with your hosting.
  4. N.B. that retagging your domain to our tag without placing an order could result in your domain being detagged as our systems will not know it's meant to be there.

Generic Domains (.com/.net/.org/.info)

 

Pre-Transfer Checklist

  1. Ensure you have access to the email address listed as the admin email contact for your domain. If you do not contact your current registrar and have it updated to one you can access.
  2. Make sure your domain name has not expired. It is advisable to initiate your transfer at least 7 days prior to expiry date, so there will be enough time to complete the process.
  3. Unlock the domain at the current registrar.

Placing the order

  1. Place an order and make payment.
  2. 2 emails will be sent to the admin contact email address for the domain
  3. The first email should arrive within 8 hours requesting confirmation to MOVE IN. Please follow the instructions and agree.
  4. Following this email you may receive another email from your current Registrar requesting confirmation to MOVE OUT, please also accept this.
  5. Relax! Everything else will be handled automatically for you and we will configure the domain to work with your hosting.

N.B

  • We cannot transfer domains that are less than 60 days old. Please wait until the domain is at least 60 days old before attempting to transfer
  • All .org and .info transfers require an authentication code which you can get from your current registrar
  • Domain transfers add 1 year onto your expiry date, so you don't lose any time you have paid for. There is one exception to this rule: If the domain was recently reactivated from an expired state, you will not get a year added to the expiry date.
