Domain Transfer UK - Transferring to 1st Choice Web
Host
Many of our clients have already registered a domain
name either separately or via a previous host. If this is the case
then this information will assist you in transferring your domain
name to us. The transfer process depends on the registrar with whom
you registered your domain name.
If you registered a US Top Level Domain or a Non UK domain (.com, .net, .it or
.ca) you need to contact your registrar company to either login and change your
DNS (domain name server) information, which indicates where your web site is
hosted or to unlock it and authorize them to accept a transfer release
If you
have a UK domain (.co.uk or .org.uk) then you will need to ask your current
registrar/host to change the IPS TAG to FASTHOSTS (we are registered
with them via UKREG and our fasthosts Id is dachambers). the IPSTAG
the management tag used by UK domain registrars.
In that section, please update your nameserver information
to the following:
For .co.uk, .org.uk domain
names |
IPSTAG |
FASTHOSTS |
For .com, .net, .info, .biz and other TLDs please use
this information;
| Primary Nameserver |
NS3.1STCHOICEWEBHOST.COM |
| Secondary Nameserver |
NS4.1STCHOICEWEBHOST.COM |
Alternatively if you would like antonymous name servers
then this can be arranged at no extra cost.
Many Domain
Name Registrars request that you login to their systems, using
the login and password they assigned you, and transfer the domain
name yourself. Once you login, you will come across a link that allows
you to change your nameserver information which is normally straight
forward
While waiting for your existing domain name to transfer and propegate to
the new nameservers, we recommend
maintaining your site at your current host to avoid down time
During this time, we will provide you with a temporary
URL that you can use
Don't forget if
you do have any problems then let us know
