Transferring a domain away from 123-reg.co.uk

Martin_Man · 16 Dec 2011 at 20:03

Hi people, I registered a domain through 123-reg.co.uk and was wondering how do i transfer the domain to another register? I'm also signed up with godaddy and tsohost so is it possible to send to either one of these?

Thanks

Don't send it to GoDaddy. Only advice I can offer

It's probably safer to keep them separate, that way no hosting company can hold your domain to ransom (not saying that they would).

What's wrong with 123-reg out of interest?

I have always used TSO Host for my domains+hostage but this time I thought I'd give 123-Reg and GoDaddy a try after reading some interesting reviews. It might just be that I am not used to there control panel as I've only ever used TSO Host. Not that I have a problem with them but I have a domain that does need to be transferred over. If I'm correct in what they are saying, in order for me to transfer the domain I need to change the IPS TAG, could somebody explain what this means? And is that correct?

BTW if i was to transfer my domain over, it would be transferred over to TSO Host

Only their website, service is probably alright but their damned interface, good luck finding out anything on there, other than how much you owe them

P) even more luck trying to change anything!

TSOhost is possible one of the best web hosts out there along with Vidahost. GoDaddy aren't. I'm reluctant to use the word terrible because there are a lot worse out there but they are thoroughly middle of the row.
