While an EPP or Auth code is needed for transferring most domains, some domain extensions (TLD), such as .uk, have different requirements that need to be taken into consideration for a successful domain transfer.

Preparations

Before initiating a .uk domain transfer, make sure that:

• The domain name is active.

• You have full ownership of the domain name.

• Your domain will not expire soon.

• You have the ability to request for the IPS tag change from your domain registrar

Once all these requirements are met, proceed with the next step 👇

Step 2 – Initiate the transfer

Follow these steps to start the transfer:

1. Unlock your domain.

2. Open the Hostinger Transfer Domain page (or Transfer Domain if you already have a Hostinger account), insert your domain name, and click on Transfer.

3. Proceed with the payment.

4. Setup the order from your hPanel

5. Choose whether you want to keep your current nameservers or use Hostinger nameservers.

Within a few minutes from completing the order, you’ll receive an email about the transfer. Be sure to confirm it by clicking the link provided.

Step 3 – Change the IPS tag

Once you’ve confirmed the transfer via email, contact your current domain provider to request a change to the domain’s IPS tag. Use the following value:

AXIDOMAINS

After updating the IPS tag, you can track the domain transfer status on the Transfers page in hPanel.
