IPS Tag for .UK names Print

Transferring a .UK Domain between Registrars

Unlike other domain extensions, transferring a .UK domain involves updating something called an IPS Tag—a unique identifier for your new registrar.

Steps to Transfer a .UK Domain To HostingRoo

1. Update the IPS Tag 
   Contact your current domain provider and ask them to change the IPS Tag to SYNERGY-AU.
2. Initiate the Transfer 
   Visit our website and submit a transfer request for your .UK domain.
3. Complete the Checkout 
   Fill out the order form and proceed with payment. If an EPP code is requested and you're unsure where to find it, reach out to your current registrar for help. (Follow this article for the transfer process.)
4. Transfer Begins 
   Once the IPS Tag has been updated and your order is submitted, the transfer process will begin.

Transferring a .UK Domain Away From HostingRoo

If you're moving your .UK domain to another provider, you'll need their IPS Tag to get started.

Steps to Transfer a .UK Domain From Us

1. Get the New IPS Tag 
   Ask your new registrar for their IPS Tag, or look it up on Nominet’s website.
2. Submit a Support Request 
   Contact our technical support team and request that we update the IPS Tag for your domain.
3. Follow the New Registrar’s Process 
   Each provider may handle incoming transfers differently, so check with them for next steps once the tag is updated.
