Transferring Ownership of uk domains Print

  • 0

If you have purchased a uk domain name (.uk, .co.uk, .org.uk, .ltd.uk) from another person or company, you will also need to get the current owner to transfer ownership and make you the new registrant.


This is not the same as transferring the domain to a new registrar/provider, which is simply changing who manages the domain name and renewals on your behalf.


If you do perform this step, the previous owner will remain the official owner/registrant of the domain, which could cause you problems in the future if there was any dispute. The original owner would be able to take back control of the domain name(s) at any time.
