Transferring domain names

In order for us to provide your hosting account using an existing domain name you have regisered, it needs to be 'parked' with Blacklab Hosting. There are some simple procedures that need to be undertaken.

UK domain transfers

To transfer a UK domain name (co.uk, org.uk, ltd.uk and plc.uk) from your previous host to Blacklab Hosting, you'll need to ask your previous host to change the IPS tag to NETSITE (capitals). Once done, let us know so we can complete the process. Please note that only the registrant of the domain name can request this change.

International domain names

Transfer of International domain names (.com, .org, .net) is slightly more complicated and there are now several different procedures following implementation of something called the Shared Registry System. For this reason, we will contact you and help you through the process.
