Domain name renewal

J_B

I've had my own website since 2001 - nothing big or special, just a point of reference for folks that need info about something of ours.


I used to point it at a plusnet page that someone did for us and now it points to a Weebly page I did myself


It's always been with UK2.net and is due for renewal at the end of the year ..

Normally you find a new provider, open an account with them (that doesn't involve getting a new domain) and then request a transfer.

123-Reg have a step by step guide which is not a specific recommendation for them but gives you an idea of what process is needed:

I did a bit of digging around and couldn't make much sense of 123 or Go Daddy or Cheap something

Then suddenly realised that I also have an account with 1&1
Phone them and they offered free web diversion, free registration for the 1st year and then £10 p.a. so went with that.

For the avoidance of doubt (once it disappears), this is referring to kolimig's post.
