I know its sad using uk2 to purchase a domain! Never again!!


Has anyone ever recieved an offer through UK2.net auctions?

How did you prossess it etc let me know

Cheers guys!
 
UK2, yep you're right. I still have two domains left there from the old days. I have always left them with them as I gather they allegedly charge £35.00 plus VAT to transfer domains away from them.

Their auction site used to have hundreds if not thousands of useless domains listed on it. Needle and haystack come to mind. I would be stunned if anyone has had offers through this.

The only good thing that I will say about UK2 is their control panel is easy to use, a good thing as there is no way of contacting them if anything goes wrong ;-)

I don't remember encountering this transfer charge. Deep, deep within their system is a page, one that seems impossible to find, where one can straightforwardly transfer out (this is from memory so please don't quote it back to me, but I think I'm not wrong on this :) ) without cost. It did take three or four email exchanges with UK2 before they gave me the link to this page. They were not keen to see a name moving away, but ultimately they gave in to my request. Be polite, but be persistent.

It's like a name a bought last year. It was on the tag of a very large American media corporation and their tech support repeatedly refused to authorise the tag change. Eventually I had to write an email to the CEO and within 12 hour of that the change took place. I had pointed out that as each day passed without the tag changing revenue was being lost to my business. Be tenacious but always put the business case. It's the language 'they' speak. It gets results.
 
If you can dig it out please, please send me this link to transfer away from UK2 for FREE as I have two domains that are up for renewal shortly.

I'll try, I just can't quite remember the domains. It will come to me. Give me a little time.

Well Guys

I recieved an offer through the auction!

Maybe it was from admin, he's still waiting for a reply BTW ;-)

The auction system is basically just a web form where you send the seller a bid by email. I had made a few bids, never had a reply though :(

No, but seriously I am stunned, the last time I looked at the UK2 auction it was stacked full of domains, I just couldn't picture anyone trawling through it.

Anyway, good luck let's hope it's not a timewaster.
 
I transferred a domain from uk2.net for free using their online tag change and change of nameserver pages only in Jan 2006 but the pages seem to have moved. If anyone find the link please could you post it on here or PM me. Thanks...Shaun

No luck from UK2.net auctions.....ever.
 
I've changed all my name servers to sedo but you get their background to the site see whatsonuk.com
 
UK2 are evil - only accept emails and hardly answer them - charge over the top for everything :(
 
I agree they are evil!

None of the domains in your order could be
processed. Please try some other names.
Your credit card has not been charged.

I/we do not want other domains,I want to renew our existing domains.

Want kind of suggestion is that??

Why can they not be processed??

The reason for the order not being process is that the domain is already taken by someone else. Please register another domain name.

I owned the domain!!

Yes they are impossible to contact, but they were very cheap for server bandwidth and their engineers do respond to problems.
I've had a server with them for four years, it's been cheap and I've been cheerful.
Now I'm going somewhere even cheaper and you can phone them. (http://www.netrino.co.uk)
 
You could try complaining to "Sam Kington" on Nom-steer.

Signs his emails "UK2.NET Senior Developer".

has anyone managed to transfer a domain away from UK2.net for free recently?

Thanks

I sold a name 2 weeks ago and the new owner just moved it from UK2net today. It is really easy to do (and it's free). You just have to make sure you have access to a fax machine.

When you fill in the new TAG name on the link above, you are then taken to a page that gives you a fax number. Send them confirmation via fax (make sure it has the current owners name and address in the fax header) and it's moved within the hour.

If you want to move a .net or .com that's through them and resides with Joker, it's easy as well (as long as you are still using the same email address you originally used to purchase with). Just bypass UK2NET completely, and go to joker.com, fire in your email address and they will send you a new password and off you go.
