We are very pleased to announce that we have released the changes required that now allow you to transfer your .co.uk domain names to moonfruit! Once your domain is transferred to us, you will benefit from the free email (5 mailboxes and infinite aliases) that other domain customers get. So what are you waiting for?!

Remember .uk domains work slightly differently from other domain names (it's governed by a different organisation), so if you are going to transfer your domain name to us, make sure you follow the instructions below.

To kick off the process with us:

Go to www.moonfruit.com/domains.html and click on 'Transfer'
Type in your existing .uk domain name and click 'Submit'
Next confirm that you are ready to start the transfer and that your domain is unlocked (not blocked for transfer)
Pay for your transfer
Contact your existing domain name registrar and ask them to change the 'tag' on your domain to 'GANDI'

It's this last step that can sometimes slow things down. Your existing domain registrar has to change the 'tag' on your domain at their end to your new registrar (which is GANDI, the registrar Moonfruit uses to manage your domain names). Once that's all done it may take a few days to come over to us depending on how quickly your current domain registrar makes these changes. And that's it.

Thank you for your patience while we ironed out these final issues, but it's all ready and waiting for you to start that process. And if you do have any problems please let us know.

Happy transferring!
