How do I change my domain IPSTAG to another provider?

There is nothing preventing you from transferring your domain name to another provider however this is usally not necessary. Only .UK domain names have IPSTAGs.

If you really do want to change your IPSTAG, you need to login to your Domain Control Panel and select “Change IPSTAG” to transer out your domain name.

You will need to know your new domain providers IPSTAG and enter it carefully.

Login to the Domain Control Panel (DCP) to change your IPSTAG.

Alternatively, you can contact Nominet directly who will also make the IPSTAG change at a cost of £10+VAT per UK domain.

See Nominet Change Registrar for further details.

Can I create my own nameservers for my domain? (Glue Records)

You can create your own nameservers based on your domain name if you wish.
For example if your domain was,
mydomainname.co.uk
Then you can create
ns.mydomainname.co.uk
ns2.mydomainname.co.uk
You will also have to ensure that you have correctly appointed each nameserver its own unique IP Address (eg. 123.123.123.123).
If the nameserver is not set up correctly by you on your server, then when you request a nameserver update, then the registry will reject your update and leave your nameserver settings as they are currently.

Where will my domain email forward to as default?

As default, email sent to your domain name will be lost until you set up your Email Forwarding via your domain login area.
It will take a short time for the setting to update once you do set this forwarding up.

What is all the text inside the Domain Name forwarding frame?

Within the Frame which we provide to you for your domain forwarding is mainly the Meta Tags coding, this allows you to add a Title Description and Keywords Tag to your domain Frame.
We also include a section providing our website address, this is not picked up by the engines and so will not be indexed for your website, but is useful if there are any questions in relation to issues with your domain name for people to be able to contact us.
The Frame itself is not editable.
