Changing the IPS tag for .uk, .co.uk, .org.uk and .me.uk domain transfers
While an EPP or Auth code is needed for transferring most domains, some domain extensions (TLD), such as .uk, have different requirements that need to be taken into consideration for a successful domain transfer.
Preparations
Before initiating a .uk domain transfer, make sure that:
-
The domain name is active.
-
You have full ownership of the domain name.
-
Your domain will not expire soon.
-
You have the ability to request for the IPS tag change from your domain registrar
Once all these requirements are met, proceed with the next step
Step 2 – Initiate the transfer
Follow these steps to start the transfer:
-
Open the Dotifi Transfer Domain page (or Transfer Domain if you already have a Dotifi account), insert your domain name, and click on Transfer.
-
Proceed with the payment.
-
Setup the order from your admin panel
-
Choose whether you want to keep your current nameservers or use Dotifi nameservers.
Within a few minutes from completing the order, you’ll receive an email about the transfer. Be sure to confirm it by clicking the link provided.
Country-code TLDs, such as .uk, .es, .com.br, etc., are not renewed as part of the transfer.
Step 3 – Change the IPS tag
Once you’ve confirmed the transfer via email, contact your current domain provider to request a change to the domain’s IPS tag. Use the following value:
AXIDOMAINS
After updating the IPS tag, you can track the domain transfer status on the Transfers page in admin panel.
