Dynadot Help

Transferring a .UK domain is different than most domain transfers. To transfer your .UK domain to Dynadot, please follow these steps:

1. Ask your current registrar (also known as tag holder) to change the tag (also known as the IPS tag) for your domain to "DYNADOT". If you have a reseller account, the IPS tag will be different. Please reach out to us for more details.
2. Visit our domain transfer page or our bulk domain transfer page to get started.
3. Enter the domain(s) you'd like to transfer, and leave the authorization code field empty.
4. Click "Transfer".
5. You should see your domain transfer added to the cart in the upper right corner.
6. If you're done shopping, click on the cart to check out.

We will add the domain to your account once Nominet, the central registry for .UK, notifies us that the domain has been re-tagged. Once the transfer is complete, you will receive a domain transfer complete as well as an order finished email from us.

Dynadot does not charge a fee for this service. Please be aware that your domain will not be renewed for 1 year, unlike domain transfers for .COM, .NET, and most other domain extensions.

If your current registrar will not or cannot change your tag for you, then you can move your domain name to a new registrar yourself using Nominet's Online Services, which involves a fee of £10 plus UK VAT at 20% as of 2016.
