Transfering to a new account in 1AND1

[mattonline]

Ok i have a domain reg'ed in 1and1.co.uk

AmieStreet.co.uk

how do i transfer it to a new person through 1and1 who doesn';t have a 1and1 account yet..

i've tried contacting 1and1 about this but we all know how useless they are, any body know.

1and1 does not have a push function, and UK names are normally transferred by changing the registrar 'TAG'.

To transfer to a new person, you should go through Nominet-

See:
http://www.nominet.org.uk/registrants/maintain/transfer/
http://www.nominet.org.uk/registrants/maintain/changeregistrar/

Your customer can use any registrar that allows .uk domains they like.

You have to pay a fee (£10 + VAT) to Nominet to legally transfer a .uk name.

Shouldn't the receiver pay the fees ?

Hi,

We have recently written a guide on moving .uk names between two parties (including technical transfer) http://www.hey.co.uk/domains/domain-services/.uk_domain_transfer_guide.html

As for the fees - either party can pay nominet , however generally we have found it is the buyer who usually does.

cheers,
Rob.

Nice guide Rob. Rep added.

Anyone can pay the fees, but if you don't specify that it is the customer's responsibility at the time of sale then then the seller would have to under UK law.

Which registrars would you say are cheap and accept Paypal ?
