Any guides on how to transfer a domain name?

Hi All

I'm in the early stage of trying to buy/transfer a couple of domain names.

They are with lycos.

The names are .co.uk and .com

I've sent them the pdf nominet form for them to fill in and post onto me (with authorising letter)

They have gone into lycos, unlocked the domains, selected transfer adding my name and FASTSHOSTS (urreg)

Do I need to do anything else?

Any advice or guidance greatfully received
Mally

Yes, for the .co.uk you need to login to ukreg and transfer the domain in so that its in your account otherwise it will be in limbo. Cant comment on the .com tho.....

Slippery Rob has written a guide to .uk domain transfers. I'm surprised he hasn't posted a link here with some good SEO words to go with it.

Surely must be just a blip - he'll be along soon to save the day
