   No. Our system for transfering domain names is fully automated. All that we ask is that the domain name has been paid for before you request a transfer.

   You can transfer a UK domain name to us free of charge.
   
   For International domain names (.com, .net, .org etc.) you will have to pay a renewal fee if you would like it transferring from one registrar to another. This fee is the cost of an additional year to the domains expiration date.
   
   
8. Can I transfer a .uk domain name to your tag?
   Yes. Please let us know before you transfer it.
   When the domain becomes due for renewal with Nominet we will bill you whatever our current rate is.
