How to transfer a .co.uk domain to Sitewig
- 1
Contact support first
At Nominet, .uk domains are not transferred with an auth code like most other extensions, but by changing the domain’s IPS tag. Contact support before you order the transfer, and we will help you with the right steps.

The domain stays in your name
The transfer follows Nominet’s rules, and the domain remains registered in your name as registrant.
- The transfer is free (£0).
- If you later want to move the domain away, we hand over the auth code or complete the transfer within 5 days, unless the registry’s rules prevent it.
Renewal and expiry
- The domain renews automatically for 1 year at a time unless you switch automatic renewal off.
- We send reminders about 30 and 7 days before expiry and again within 5 days after expiry if the domain has not been renewed.
- Domains are not covered by introductory offers or the 30-day guarantee.
- If the domain is not renewed, it expires and the registry’s rules on grace period, restore and deletion apply. Once the domain has been deleted, others can register it.
Look up a .co.uk domain
See whether the name is registered, with which registrar and when it expires. We only show the registry’s technical data, never owner details.
The lookup goes to the registry’s RDAP service, which we find via IANA.
