How to transfer domain names between registrars, including UK IPS tags and international EPP codes.
Moving a domain between registrars shouldn't be stressful, but the process varies depending on the TLD. UK domains (.co.uk, .org.uk) use IPS tags. International domains (.com, .net, .org) use EPP authorisation codes. Mix them up and you'll be waiting while nothing happens.
These articles walk through domain transfers step by step: unlocking your domain, requesting the right code, avoiding downtime during the switch, and what to check once the transfer completes. If you're moving to 365i, our free migrations service handles the whole process for you.
