Transferring a Name

The way to transfer your domain name to one of our hosting plans varies depending on the type of domain name and who it is registered with. There may be a release fee charged by your curent host, and there can be a delay of up to a week while the transfer takes place.

You may be required to supply a written letter or fax confirming the release, and usually only the current owner can initiate a change. We advise you to contact your current host to find out exactly what they require.

Once you are familiar with your current host's release process, the steps to get your GAP 66 hosting plan set up are simple.

Choose your hosting plan.
Add selected plan to your basket.
When asked for a name, enter the one to transfer.
Confirm you are able to transfer the name.
Complete the easy, 3 step checkout.
Within 24 hours we will begin transfer of your name,
Set up your hosting space,
Contact you with access details so you can upload your website.

As you cannot access your web space using your domain name until it is transferred, we will create a temporary doman name of your_name.gap66.net that you can use to get your web pages live.
