RE: FN-FORUM: Domain transfer question

The two different domains have different processes, but neither of which
will cost your client money.

.co.uk - Request the new IPS Tag off the person wanting control of the
domain, and then change the IPS tag to that. The other person will then
request the domain from their registrar (ie. In 123-reg, under external
domain transfers). No charge

.com - The person being transferred to requests the transfer - an email will
be sent to the admin contact for the domain to approve it. Follow the
instructions on the email to allow the transfer. This will probably cost a
years renewal (the person requesting the transfer pays).

You are right in what you are saying with 123-reg and godaddy, however, this
relies on the other party wanting to do that (and also having domains in
different places - I find this a bit of a headache).

Subject: FN-FORUM: Domain transfer question


Hi all,

Before I launch into my question, I just want to say Happy New Year!!

Now question time.... I have just come back from my few days off to
discover a client has sold his website to a new person. The new owner
now wants the domains transferred over to him - there is a .co.uk and
.com for the site. He is suggesting a nominet transfer, however I right
in thinking this could be done without the Nominet fee if I just got the
owner to sign up to 123reg (where I bought the .co.uk) and then I could
transfer it over to him and do the same for the .com from godaddy?

Thanks

Michelle
