How do I change the TAG for my .uk domain?

If your .uk domain is registered with another provider and you wish to move the domain over to our service, then you would need to ask your existing domain providers to change the TAG for your domain to PLUGSOCKET (all capital letters). You may have a control panel through which you can do this.

This will effectively transfer the domain to us and all future domain renewal fees would then be payable to us.

If you wish to change the TAG for your domain to another provider, please send us an email (or use our contact form) and let us know the name of the TAG you wish to transfer it to (your new provider will be able to tell you what this should be).

There is no charge made by us for TAG transfers or any amendments made to your domains. However, before moving to another domain name provider, always read the small print. Some registration companies will have hidden costs such as TAG transfer fees and administration charges.

Once the TAG has been changed, this will effectively transfer your domain name away from us and we will no longer have any control over your domain name, so you would need to contact your new provider if you wish to make any further amendments to it in the future and you would also pay your new providers to renew the domain (so you would miss out on our cheap domain fees!).
 
If you just wish to host your domain elsewhere, then it is possible to leave the domain with us and just change the nameservers for the domain, so that the domain points to your hosting company's servers for hosting. You would then pay us for future domain renewal fees.

If you wish to change the nameservers (sometimes referred to as DNS) for your domain, then this can be done through your control panel, unless we are hosting the domain at the moment, in which case you would need to contact us and let us know the new nameservers.
