Once a domain expires you have 6 weeks to renew the name before it is returned to the open market. If you are within that period then we will be unable to buy the name for you. So you would need to remain with the same company or arrange for Nominet (controller of .co.uk names) to move it for you.
If it is on general sale then you can buy it through the control panel of the website. Simply click on the upgrade button to the left and select Domain registration. Enter the name you want and we will automatically buy it for you and add it to your
site. If it is exactly the same as your previous name the there are no other changes that need to be made to your
site. This is because your website is actually live in the background it just can’t be navigated to as it presently has no active domain name.
If you decide to use a different name then you will need to email us with the old and new name so we can set up your
site to accept the new domain name.
We hope this is helpful,
