Transferring Your Domains from 1&1

Transfer your domain names from 1&1 to UK-Cheapest.co.uk and get all the advantages of our Domain Name Control panel including Free nameserver changes, email forwarding, web forwarding and Homepage builder!

Transferring to UK-Cheapest is FREE!

There is no transfer fee for .UK domain names however there is a 1 year renewal fee for all other domains (.com, .net, .org etc) of £8.97. This transfer cost extends your domain name registration by 1 year and so is not an administrative fee!

For all .UK domains eg. .CO.UK, .ME.UK, .ORG.UK

Login to your 1&1 Control Panel: http://contract.1and1.co.uk

1) Log in using your account number and password
2) Choose the contract which contains the domains
3) Select whether you want to ‘Cancel Entire Contract’ or ‘Cancel Selected Domains’
4) Choose the “Execute On” for the domain
5) Change the cancellation option to “Change Provider”
6) Click “Continue”
7) Enter our IPS tag: MICROLITE
8) Click “Finish”
