Sounds like good advice Ed.

How do I go about this?

Info here, link to application form at the bottom. Should hopefully be self explanatory. (The application process may well have changed since I became a member so hard to talk specifics; if they ask you what kind of tag you’d like, say “self managed”)

Self-managed if all domains will be in your name (though you can add up to 4 associated names such as your business etc). Also, from memory (been a long time), and more recent threads on here, during the application, it will have loads of questions to answer; these are more applicable to the other classes of membership, so just add "self-managed tag to preserve domains in my ownership only" or something like that. Costs around £600 then £100 each year, give or take. Domains cost £4.50 per year to register/renew. Well worth doing, no way would I have the quality of domains you do on a third party registrar, especially not 123-REG.

OK. Will get registered asap!

Jokes aside, why try and transfer it to the worst registrar ever? (according to the many many many tales of woe here, and on the wider Web)? Seems a little ill advised...

That said, hope you get to the bottom of the issue quickly and solve the problem. It’s a cracking purchase, well done!

I guess there are lots of variables.

*insert maths pun*

I put it off for ages but having a tag is actually dead easy, and you get to vote against everything Nominet does

I'm an accredited channel partner with Nominet, but I'm really looking forward to becoming a member this Summer, I'm going to apply in August to start the full year off - then I can start registering my own domains instead of going through a 3rd party. But as of now, I use Fasthosts mainly, and at the moment they're doing .UK registrations for a quid! So I'm taking full advantage.
