How to transfer your domains to Xtraordinary

.uk Domain Transfers

Instruct your existing ISP or hosting provider to transfer your domain to Nominet tag XTRAHOST and to advise support@xtrahost.co.uk once this has been done.

Most ISPs require written or faxed instructions before they will make these changes. Many can be extremely slow to respond, so please persist and follow up by phone, mail and fax if necessary.

Only once the tag changes are made will we have control over your domain and can change the DNS servers so that your domain will point to your Xtraordinary hosting account.

.com/.net/.org Domain Transfers

With your authority we can initiate a transfer of your domain to our account with the OpenSRS registry. In straightforward cases transfers can take 3 to 5 days.

Soon after we initiate the transfer, the people listed as the owner, technical and administrative contacts for the domain will be sent an email asking if they wish the transfer to proceed. If any of these people object to the transfer then there may be delays and further verification of ownership of the domain may be required. If you are one of the contacts listed on the domain records and are able to approve the transfer then there is a good chance it will proceed. The confirmation emails are sent to the email addresses shown on the registration records. You can check the registration records by doing a Whois query at the Internic website.

Once the transfer is complete we will have control over your domain and can change the DNS servers so that your domain will point to your Xtraordinary hosting account.
