Domains - Transfers
 
 
How do I transfer a domain to On The Spot Internet?

For UK domains such as .co.uk and .org.uk you need to contact your ISP and ask them to change the ipstag to ONTHESPOT. They may require a signed fax on headed paper from the registrant before they process the request. Many ISP's have their own methods. If you require assistance contact us and we will be able to find the answers to your questions

For US domains such as .com, .org and .net it is necessary to change the name server records. The new details you require are as follows;

Primary Server Hostname.........: ns1.onthespot.co.uk
Primary Server Netaddress.......: 62.253.244.1

Secondary Server Hostname.......: ns3.onthespot.co.uk
Secondary Server Netaddress.....: 66.139.75.155

If you were given a username and password when you registered the domain you may be able to make these changes yourself. Be warned that some ISP and domain hosts make a charge when transferring away form them. If you have any problems contact us and we will assist you.

How do I transfer a domain away from On The Spot Internet?

In order to ensure that all domain transfer requests are authentic it is necessary that we receive a signed fax on headed paper from the registered owner of the domain name. Our fax number is 0141-574-2501.

For UK domain names let us know the new ipstag. This information you will get from your new domain host. On The Spot will then ask Nominet to change the tag, once this changed your new host then has authority to modify the server details for that domain. To check the tag status of a domain go to http://www.nominet.org.uk/index.html and enter the domain in the field called 'domain name search'

Due to the large number of competing registries offering US domain names there are numerous ways to transfer .com, .net and .org domains. The transfer of a domain involves the modification of name server details. Fax the details to us and we will make the modifications and notify you when done. If your new host has their own system for transferring US domains just fax through instructions authorizing On The Spot to agree to a modification request from the new host.

If you have any further questions feel free to give us a call to discuss your domain query.
