Hi all, hoping some of you people who are more clued up on transfer matters than I am can help with a quick query:
I'd like to buy a couple of .uk names from a domainer. That person has them registered with Names.co.uk
In the past when buying names from a domainer, I have just had them transferred via Nominet and not via a registrar. I then pay the £10, get the names in my Nominet account, change the registrar tag in the process to Namecheap where I hold my names, and transfer in at Namecheap. Job's a good'un!
In this instance, the seller has them regd at Names.co.uk and doesn't seem to have access to their Nominet account. They said if I create a Names.co.uk account I can have the names pushed into my account there. But my concern is that will just push the names into my Names.co.uk account, and not actually into my ownership with Nominet.
I opened a ticket with Names.co.uk explaining the above and they never replied to me, hence I'm posting here to try and get a concrete answer so I can proceed with the deal.
Thank you in advance....
