How do I transfer my domain?

What is a Domain Registrant?

When you purchase a Domain Name, you become the Domain Registrant. That means the registrar has notified the registry, you have full control over that domain name for a specified period. This time period is how long you have registered the domain; it can be as long as ten years.

Why should I transfer my domain?

Our Hosting Plan are not only affordable, they also allow you to save money by adding multiple Domains into 1 Hosting Account.

IPS Tag

During the transfer process you will need to inform your current (old host) of the new IPS Tag

The IPS Tag for OnPoint Hosts is:-

PDR-IN

What is a TLD?

Top Level Domains are not all managed by a single registry. UK Domains (.uk) are managed by Nominet whilst the others are managed via different registries. They have all have slighly different procedures.
Don’t Panic - Our systems are automated and linked to the registries.

Let's Begin.

Check List

  • Do you have access to the registered email for the domain?
  • Has the domain been locked?
  • Have you transferred the domain within the last 60 days - Domains cannot be transferred twice in 60 days!
  • in lists

Transfer My Domain

If your Domain is a .co.uk or other UK TLD you will need to ask your existing domain provider to change the IPS TAG on the domain to ours which is PDR-IN. Once completed, and under our tag, the domain is transferred.
Important
You will need to create a transfer purchase order to enable this process to be completed.

If your Domain is a .com, net, .org or other TLD you will need to request the EPP (Authorisation) from your current registrar.
