Transfer a domain to Centrehost.co.uk
If you already have a domain name registered and wish to transfer it to us to host for you then you are more than welcome to do so.
Most people get put off by the perceived hassle of moving a domain from one registrar to another, but it is actually not that difficult.
However, there are some things to consider. Not all domains are administrated in the same way and this is where it can be a little bit confusing. For example,
the proceedure for transfering a .co.uk is somewhat different to that of a .com
So - to change a .uk domain (that is .co.uk .org.uk etc) you simply need to change the IPSTAG to ours, "VELOX" (the losing registrar should do this for you),
and unlike some of our competitors, we do not charge for inbound .uk domain transfers becouse we do not get charged ourselves.
In contrast, you need to do a bit more ground work with what we call US domains (.com .net .info .biz and .org). Firstly you need to have the losing registrar unlock the
domain and then they should supply you with a transfer authorisation code (or EPP Key), additionally you should ensure that the ADMIN contact on the domain has your
email address listed so that you can authorise the transfer.
Wether it is a .UK domain or a US domain, once you have completed the above you simply go through the process at https://hspc.dns6.com to transfer the domain into your account.
Now, when it comes to US domains, the rules set by the top level registrar state that the domain lif has to be extended by one year during the transfer. So as you go through the
transfer wizard in HSP Complete (our billing system/control panel) you will be aasked to pay the price of a one year registration for that domain type (does not apply to .UK
domains). However, once the transfer is complete you will have an extra year added to the domain life.
