Procedures required to transfer a .GOV.UK domain name
___________________________________________________________________________________________
Follow the procedures below to transfer a domain while achieving NO
downtime and complete it in the shortest period possible.
The
steps required to complete the transfer in good time are:
1.
setup a new DNS account, or web hosting account, for the domain name.
2. add DNS, webpages, databases, mailboxes, etc, to your new DNS/web
hosting account.
3. test webpages and main parts of website are
working, test DNS records are working - this stage is important to
ensure the move completes with no downtime
(there is an example of
testing DNS here: https://www.seiretto.com/domains/faq.php#dns )
4. inform your new host and JISC you are ready to transfer your domain
name in.
Your new host should/will complete the rest for you (we
provide you with all the required documentation to ensure your domain is
moved to us in good time, while informing you of the progress at each
stage).
The whole process can be completed in 48 hours, but is
best spread over 7 to 10 days.
Leave the hassle to us: we know
how to deal with transfers of .GOV.UK domains having dealt with JISC for
20 years see:

Searching, there is more than just Google!___________________________________________________________________________________________
Google search results are doctored, vetted, and manipulated. Reasons may
vary from monetizing to censorship, but every time your privacy is lost.
On a basic Google search the whole of the top of the page and bottom of
the page are
completely filled with
paid-ads - somewhere in the middle
you will find some organic links (results do differ with the search term
used), but every time the results are manipulated in such a way as to feed
towards Google earning more cash from your visit. Of course for a search
engine/directory to survive it must make a profit (unless funded some other
way) so you can expect some ads, but the WHOLE of the TOP PAGE! What are
they thinking?
There are alternatives which do not
compromise on
your privacy:
