.UK Transfers

We do not charge any fees to transfer your .uk domain to or from ourselves. All we require is your account does not have an outstanding balance.

The original domain expiry date will transfer with the domain, meaning we will only change the fees shown above once the domain comes up for renewal.

Renewals

We will send an email renewal reminder the month before the domain name is due. e.g. Anything due for renewal in January, your first renewal reminder will be sent at the beginning of December to the billing email address you provided.

We will follow up with a second reminder at the beginning of the month your account is due for renewal and a third to chase the renewal before the domain/hosting package goes past the expiry date.

Please note It is the clients responsibility to ensure any domain is renewed.
