How do I transfer my .uk domain name to UKC?

If your domain name is registered with another domain name provider and you want to transfer your domain name to uk-cheapest.co.uk then simply ask your domain name provider to “Change your IPSTAG to MICROLITE”.

Once your provider acts upon your request the domain name is instantly transferred.

Visit the Name Transfer page to begin the domain transfer process.

How long does it take for my domain name to register?

Once you have submitted your domain registration order and successfully paid, your domain registration request is immediately submitted to the appropriate registry. The domain should be showing as registered to you within a few short minutes. A common reason for rejection is “invalid postcode” or even a completely dreamed up address!

To verify that your registration was successful, go to our WHOIS lookup page and type in your domain name eg. yourdomain.co.uk. If the result is “no match” or “not found” and you have paid for your domain name then you must contact the Helpdesk immediately as it is possible that you registration request has been rejected OR your PayPal payment has not been correctly matched to your order.

Once the WHOIS confirms your domain name is correctly registered, it will now take up to 72 hours for your DNS to propagate the global internet. So, your domain name will begin to function some time after registration.

.UK domain names are usually fully functioning within 24 hours. .COM domain names can take longer to fully propagate.

How much does it cost to transfer a domain name to UK-Cheapest?

When transferring a UK domain name to UK-Cheapest we do not charge anything, simply ask your existing domain name provider to “Change your IPSTAG to MICROLITE”. There is no cost for this transfer although your domain name provider may make a small admin charge.

If you wish to transfer a .com, .net, .org, .biz or .info domain name to us then there is a transfer charge of £4.99+VAT made by the registry. All is not lost because this also adds a further year to your existing registration period.
