IPS Tag legalities

Morning everyone,

I switched from 1and1 - went to another - now back with a trusted registra, but only temporarily.

Unfortunately my IPS tag is locked to the second company I used a couple of days ago - really shocked they are not helping me, they helped me bucket loads with sd ftp until they pointed out sd does not do sftp yet.

I have asked them politely 3 times to change the Tag but they wont answer the question. Happy to answer any other questions though.

Do I have the law on my side with this ?

Kind regards,

Michael

Lol, just my luck,

This from current registra,

"Though I have been looking through ICANN's Policy on Transfer of Registrations between Registrars and the 60 days rule applies to all domains. "


I hope my last two or three threads help other people.

Kind regards,

Michael

if you log into your account in 1and1, control panel then go to domain overview
you should then be able to transfer your domain from here

Hello,

Many thanks for your time.

This is now with my other registra, I did everything in 1and1 cpanel correctly, left 1and 1 for good. Then went to new registra / host and transferred tag successfully from 1and1 to them, im now trying to leave 2nd host / registra and they have hit me with the 60 days ICANN rule. I now have to keep domain and space with them for 60 days, but can only use their basic server cos all there other servers are strict SFTP only.

I intend ending up in 60 days time with domain parked at freeparking.co.uk and space probably with sd hosting.

Thanks everyone for your time, I really hope other new users of sd get some help from my last 3 threads.

Kind regards,

Michael

Michael,
You are not alone in getting confused about the difference between transferring domain ownership and domain administration and the differences in these processes for the various TLD's (top level domains).

For .uk domains, however, you do have direct recourse in this issue with Nominet. Your current Registrar (who the UK domain is tagged to) work in a 3-way legal agreement between you, themselves and Nominet. This means you, as the domain's legal owner, can get in touch with Nominet and they are obliged to act on your behalf i.e. the can expidite a change of IPS tag of your domain name on your behalf.
I'd recommend you give Nominet a call for your .co.uk domains. They are a non-profit body and their customer server team are knowledgeable and very helpful.

Registrations and transfers of .com, .net, .info, .eu etc is another matter entirely............

Many thanks,

My nice registra, freeparking have told me about this.
To be honest ive had migraines over this lot in the past week and im just going to let them hold the domain and server for the 60 days required, their support has been excellent I just wish I could use their sftp cpi comliant server.

Kind regards,

Michael

Nitemare,

Domain locked to two separate registrars,

Arguments all over the place.

Michael,
If they are .uk domains then I'd advise a quick call to Nominet - 01865 332244

Thanks I will do,

but im having a two hour lunch break first, my last 3 problems have been so stressful. I really feel like throwing in the towel and closing my business and getting a job with another printer.

Just paid nominet £12.00 to rescue me. Sellerdeck hosting here I come.

[newshopbloke]

The fight goes on, American registrar still controlling pointing dns..............................
Another call to nominet required.

[newshopbloke]

Rescued at last, hooray for nominet.

All this caused by the initial failings of 1and1

I really hope this thread helps others,

Michael
