Sorry, newbie question

webego · Jul 9, 2019

So are there any time restrictions on when you can transfer .com, .co.uk or .uk domains? None have been registered with my tag, all via either GoDaddy or 34sp.

By time restrictions I mean is there a period after initial registration where you aren't allowed to transfer it?
Similarly is there the same type of restriction applied to renewals or even a fixed time before expiration date?

Curious about all .com, .co.uk and .uk domains.

Thanks!

There are no 'time' restrictions regarding the transferring of .co.uk's / .uk's - You can do as you please!

When it comes to .com transfers... All you have to do it make sure you 'opt out' of the 60 day transfer lock and you're golden

Hope that helps.

Thanks Barry, that does help a lot. Clear and concise.

yep .. godaddy does 60 days , although Barry said theres an opt out.

Thanks. Yes, found that both 34sp and GoDaddy have 60 days from registration. But the opt out only seems to be available if you have transferred in from someone else.

In regards to .uk. You can change the TAG to whatever you like via your registrant Nominet admin panel. Godaddy's T&C's can go do one.

Yeah, that was my understanding. Just go to your Nominet admin panel. I have done a couple that way recently, and they're live with the new tag and resolving fine, even though the previous registrar still lists them on my control panel with them and will presumably try to charge me for renewal. But assuming the tag's changed, I assume there's nothing much the previous registrar can do.
