On right hand side of your "dashboard" it says "Upcoming Renewals" click that then change each one in the drop down box

lol AWESOME FIND... I got it on new nameservers and fired up a personal placeholder for now...

Only problem is i can only register a new domain every 24 hours with the host...

scottaii · 24-06-09, 11:30 AM

I just ordered mine,

Although i clicked the .co.uk + the .net

and the total came to £10 . . . strange

so i got a
.net for 1 year

and

.co.uk for 2 years

for £10
-£10 voucher

= Free!

yey, Cheers dude!

Just gonna hazard a guess here but UFC TeleVision and a site for a YouTube type of thing is on the horizon for UFC.

Just a guess though, might be completely off the mark

scottaii · 25-06-09, 08:19 AM

UFC, an awesome mixed martial arts style of fighting.

UFCtv - not to sure

It costs upwards of £14 to transfer a domain with UK2.net, so if you want to do this then I would use Nominet (you pay about £10 for .uk) or just transfer the nameservers, and wait until your renewal and renew with your current host.

gpow · 25-06-09, 09:57 AM

Cruelworld has it in one. Hopefully try and set one up, if not i will just sell it on.

scottaii · 25-06-09, 10:02 AM

Can i use the voucher as many times as i like?

I think so yeah, i dunno though cos you have to put your card details in, surely they would notice if you used the same details twice?

I've just bought a domain (Well, free from this voucher), now i need to transfer it to my host. I hope it doesn't cost anything like Delude said

It does.
It's UK2.net that decides, not your host unfortunately.
You have to go here: Moving your Domain Name | UK2 which isn't mentioned on the site.

If it is .uk then contact Nominet, as it will be cheaper.

Yeah it's .co.uk i thought you could just change the nameservers to your host? Wouldn't that be free? I did that with oneandone anyway.

Yeah you can do, that's what I have done for now. Although I always prefer to have full control and so will have to look into doing something in the future

I thought you did have full control when you change the name severs? Because your host now hosts the site? The site you bought the domain off just charges you when the domain is about to expire.

You would have to change the IPS TAG to sign over complete control.

You can still do whatever with the domains in cPanel etc, but if you have a 'Manage Domains' area with your host it wont appear there (it would stay pending) and I don't think you would be able to auto renew with your host.
