Domain Name Transfer

There is no charge for UK domain transfers, whether you're moving your domain to our control or transferring it away.

The transfer process for UK domain names is simple and can be completed in a matter of minutes. Upon completion of your order you need to instruct your domain provider to change the domain IPSTAG to UKWSD, once this has been done we have control of the domain and we will confirm by email.

All gTLD domain transfers incur a small fee, this is charged at our standard 1 year registration fee for gTLD domains which is currently £8.99. The fee is applicable as we are required by the domain registrar to extend the registration period of the domain when it's transferred to a new registrar.

When you order the domain name transfer an automated transfer request email will be sent to the domains admin contact, this request needs to be authorised by the admin contact in order for the transfer to proceed.

If you are not listed as the admin contact we recommended that you make that person aware of the transfer so that the transfer can be authorised on your behalf. To speed up the transfer process we recommend that you have your domain provider change the Administrative contact email for the domain to ours which is domains@ukwsd.com, this enables to authorise the transfer for you.

NOTE: We cannot transfer domains that are less than 60 days old, if you registered your domain within the last 60 days please wait until after 60 days before starting a transfer to us.
