What our clients say...

We joined Krystal Hosting in 2004 after deciding we wanted to use a UK company for our domain registrations. We now have 170 domains registered here and the decision has been supremely worthwhile. They offer good value, reliable domain services with an easy to use interface. Most importantly their support has been fantastically responsive. I wholeheartedly recommend that you give them the chance to impress you.

.UK Domains (.co.uk/.org.uk/.me.uk etc)

Place an order using the form above (transfer is free).
Please contact your current registrar and ask them; "To update the IPS TAG on yourdomain.uk to KRYSTAL"
Your current registrar is contractually obliged to retag the domain in a "reasonable" time, though they may charge you for the "privilege".
It costs £0 to RETAG a domain name, if your current registrar is going to charge you to leave then we'd recommend that you just go straight to the .uk registry, Nominet (www.nic.uk) and pay them £10 + VAT directly. This has 2 advantages; 1) they'll action it immediately and 2) it might help discourage the practice of charging to leave, which we believe is unethical, even if it doesn't at least your current registrar doesn't make any money from you leaving.
You may be asked to provide nameserver information, if so our nameservers are ns1.krystal.co.uk and ns2.krystal.co.uk (Please don't specify IP addresses)
Once the domain name has been retagged you'll be able to manage it through your client area. Simply change the nameservers to ours if they haven't been already and it'll automatically work with your hosting (if you've ordered any).

N.B. that retagging your domain to our tag without placing an order could result in your domain being detagged as our systems will not know it's meant to be there, please place an order first.

Pre-Transfer Checklist

Ensure you have access to the admin email address listed at the registry for your domain. If you do not, contact your current registrar and have it updated to one you can access.
Obtain the EPP/Auth transfer key from your current registrar.
Unlock the domain at the current registrar.
Make sure your domain name has not expired. It is advisable to initiate your transfer at least 7 days prior to expiry date, so there will be enough time to complete the process.

Place an order and make payment

2 emails will be sent to the admin contact email address for the domain
The first email should arrive within 8 hours requesting confirmation to MOVE IN. Please follow the instructions and agree.
Following this email you may receive another email from your current Registrar requesting confirmation to MOVE OUT, please also accept this.
It can take up to 5 days for the losing registrar to make the change. You will be emailed when it's been succesfully transferred. You can check the client area for status updates.
Once we've got the domain simply change the nameservers to ours if they haven't been already and it'll automatically work with your hosting (if you've ordered any).

N.B. We cannot transfer domains that are less than 60 days old . Please wait until the domain is at least 60 days old before attempting to transfer

Domain transfers add 1 year onto your expiry date, so you don't lose any time you have paid for. There is one exception to this rule: If the domain was recently reactivated from an expired state, you will not get a year added to the expiry date.
