Domain Name Ownership – Your Questions…

Posted on by

Ebay

Linda asks…

How do I transfer ownership of a domain name? I’ve never had to do this before.?

I have a co.uk domain name that I no longer use, but that I feel might be of use to someone. I’m planning to offer it for sale on Ebay.
If it sells, and once I’ve recieved payment, how do I transfer ownership of the domain?

Also, I have the domain pointing to a hosting package with a company called Redstation.
Do I include the remaining few months of hosting in with the deal?

admin answers:

Nominet are responsible for the UK domains, so you fill out a Transfer of Domain Name Registration form (link below), then post it along with a cheque (£10+vat), made payable to Nominet.
The new owner fills in the rest of the form & posts it on to Nominet.
Moving hosting can cost the new owner quite a few quid, so they may as well use the current host as long as its suitable.

Donald asks…

How do I add a “Domain Name” search box to my website?

Does anybody know how to add a “Domain Name” search box to a website/webpage? Something similar to the Domain Search tool found on the Yahoo Small Business page. I would like people to type in a Domain name to check for availability. If anyone knows how to add one to a webpage please help

admin answers:

You will need to sign up as an affiliate with a leading domain name registrar. Once they accept you as an affiliate, you can then log in to your control panel and go to the promotion section which will give you the HTML code for the search form.
