Another tutorial to do with domains and 1and1.
This time it’s how to transfer a domain to 1and1 that you have bought from someone else.
If it’s a .co.uk domain, you also need to transfer the registration at Nominet the company that deals with all .co.uk domains.
How to deal with 1and1
Before you can do anything you have to tell the person who sold you the domain to change the “IPSTAG” to “SCHLUND”
1) Login to your 1and1 account.
2) Choose any of your packages and you will be in the admin area.
3) Click on manage domains, then you will see on the horizontal navigation “transfers”. Select that and choose “start transfer”.
4) You should now be on a page where you can input your domain in the domain check box. Do that including the .co.uk but leaving out any http:// or www. Press submit.
5) It will come up saying the domain is registered but suggest that you transfer registrar. Accept the terms and conditions and press next.
6) Press next again.
7) Choose “Use the 1&1 name servers.” and press next. Almost there.
8) Now you get to pay. You need to confirm it’s OK for your card to be hit for the 2 years registration and also that you are the rightful owner.
