I'm in the process of transferring my domain and require an IPS Tag change.

I don't know if your domain is a .co.uk but these notes from Google may help....even if you are not going to use Google 😃

Transfer .co.uk & .uk domains

nominet.uk/transferring-your-domain-name/

The "catch 22" - First, sign into your Online Services account. Then follow these simple steps: 😨

@knowdice that nominet link is for transferring ownership of a domain not transferring a domain to a different registrar

Wouldn't you need to do that before moving away from Plusnet?

No, Plusnet don't own the domain, you do!. You just need to get Plusnet to change the IPSTAG to that of the new registrar.

I too found similar information, as for sign everything seems to infer that it's likely to be postmaster@username.isp.co.uk replacing isp.co.uk with provider. However this may not be the solution we're looking for, hopefully a staff member will spot our posts and intervene.

That's good to know, thanks 😎

A bit of a thread hijack...

When we move our domain away from Plusnet, can we still use the Plusnet mail server mx.avasin.plus.net temporarily?

@Fixxxer Any luck with getting your Tag changed?

@knowdice Not a good idea - you should use your domain hosts.

It's just planning whether to transfer the domain and do the mail service at the same time or do it one step at a time....

Moving the domain registration SHOULD not affect the PN email hosting. However, once you change the nameservers to the new hosting, then the PN mail servers will no longer accept email for the domain.

The best approach is to setup the email hosting account , with any mailboxes and aliases, first, then transfer the domain registration. You are then in a position to switch nameservers at any point should there be any loss of the PN email hosting.

If it were me, I would do them together - less hassle, IMO.

EDIT - @MisterW beat me to it, with a more informed response.

@jab1 & @MisterW

Thank you both, Its helped me greatly to clarify the best way to go with this.

So, just waiting for new hardware to come in then its all systems go.

@knowdice

Once my IPS Tag is sorted I'm hoping to set up a catch all and forward emails while I consider email hosting options. I was hoping to move to a residential fibre service while there's still capacity in my local cabinet.

@knowdice

Unfortunately no progress on the IPS Tag change yet, just hoping to get the attention of helpdesk staff who can make it happen.

@knowdice

Just thought I'd let you know I was PM'd by a staff member yesterday, a ticket has been created and my IPS Tag change should be in progress. I was advised it should be completed within 72hrs.

Re: IPS Tag change required

knowdice — Tue, 04 Jul 2023 10:24:43 GMT

@Fixxxer

Ok, that's good, shows that the system works. Who are you going to?

I'm still waiting for hardware to come, but am pretty happy with the software side that I'm test bedding 😃

So, a few more weeks before I will request the Tag change.

I'm moving my domain to namecheap and setting up catchall mail forwarding to gmail as I don't need to send from my domain emails at this point, long term I may look at Zoho for email hosting or even look at hosting my own server depending on my needs and the implications.

IPS Tag changed in approximately 48hrs after getting William Cutforth on the case. Just monitored https://www.nominet.uk/ until I noted IPS Tag change then jumped on and sorted catch all forwarding and all working a treat. Now to decide if I stay and switch to residential fibre from my current adsl2+ or look elsewhere.
