....that does NOT charge for transferring a domain name into it.

Was going to do Enom reseller account, but the number of domains I need to transfer will put a healthy dent in me wallet if I transfer them all in at the $8.95 (as a few probably will not be renewed by customers over the coming months).

The place I move them too will also have to sell uk domains at a reasonable cost (doesn't have to be the cheapest out there, but reasonable)

Looking to move quite quickly as the place I am with seems to be going downhill at the speed of an express train after a recent merger.

The majority of the domains to move are uk ones, with a few nets and coms in there as well.

Cheers guys!

For ccTLDs, I don't know. But for gTLDs like com net and org, no
registrar can afford free transfers in unless they're willing to take
a gamble.

Netsol did offer free-transferring in a few years back. But that's
because they can afford to take a loss.

In a sense, almost all registrars do NOT charge for transfer, BUT they need you to "extend" your registration for an extra year. That's actually how the industry has been doing, except for really rare promotions like the one by NetSol a while back.

Aye think you are right, although the registrar I use at the mo transfers in for nothing.

Bloody mergers - ruin everything!!!

Cheers again all
