13 Aug 10 Transferring your .UK Domain Name

Before proceeding with the Transfer of your .UK Domain Name, you are advised to first confirm if your Domain Name can be Transferred. Click here to read more >>

The process of Transferring a .UK Domain Name from another Registrar is slightly different compared to the process for Domain Names under other extensions. In case of a .UK Domain Name, the inbound Transfer needs to be initiated at the Current Registrar’s end.

Once you have determined whether your .UK Domain Name can be Transferred, you need to follow the process mentioned below:

1. Initiate the Transfer at the Current Registrar with whom you are managing your .UK Domain Name. 

   You need to provide a Tag in order to initiate the Transfer. Contact our Technical Support Team at support@gossimer.com to know the Tag.
    

2. A notification will be sent to the Registrant Email Address once Gossimer receives a notification about the Transfer from the .UK Registry.
    
3. This email will contain a Security Key associated with the Domain Name that you have Transferred.
    
   IMPORTANT
    

   • The Security Key needs to be kept confidential.
      
   • In case the Registrant has not received any notification containing the Security Key, you can contact support@gossimer.com and request for the Security Key to be re-sent.
      
   • In case the Registrant has received multiple notifications related to the Transfer, the Security Key listed in the latest email needs to be used.
      
   • Transfer Request for .UK Domain Names cannot be placed from the Storefront/within the Control Panel. Hence, it is advised that you re-direct all purchase related links from within your, your company user’s and your Customer’s Control Panel to your SuperSite URL or your Custom URL (if you have integrated with our platform using our API).

4. Login to your Control Panel – Customers – http://manage.gossimer.biz/customer
   Resellers – http://manage.gossimer.biz/reseller
    
5. In the Control Panel, Customers – go to Domains -> Domain Registration -> Transfer
   Resellers – go to Products -> Domain Registration -> Transfer<#end reseller#>

   Now, enter your .UK Domain Name. You also need to provide the Security Key, which was sent to the Registrant Email Address.
    

   IMPORTANT

   Here, you will be initiating the final step related to the Transfer of your .UK Domain Name to Gossimer and not a fresh Transfer.

    

   On the next page, you need to provide the Customer Username (Email Address) under whom the Domain Name needs to be placed.
    

6. Submit the details.

You will receive a notification via email from Gossimer, once the Domain Name has been activated under your Control Panel.
