Domain transfer away from Plusnet

[#1]

I don't see a ticket option to start a domain transfer away from Plusnet. Can somebody advise please.

Thanks,

Dave

@SeanD - FYI ...

Thanks for the reply Townman, but when I click on the "PN Ticket" option after Sign-in, it only shows me the Help Assistant, saying You currently have no open questions. I don't see a way to make a new ticket.

Hi Dave,

Indeed there is not.  There needs to be a user process for this.  The tag above is to illuminate an on-going discussion.

One of the forum staff will need to pick this up ... or you could phone support (phone answering is very prompt these days) and hope that the front line guys knows what you are requesting.  They see comparatively few such requests and experience has therefore been variable.

Hi Townman,

Thanks for the info and contributing to this thread, hopefully a staff member will jump in.

Hey there Dave (@DaveDoc) all sorted out for you now.

Hi Will thank you for sorting the domain transfer. I see it is still pointing to the Plusnet webspace, do I need to change the DNS records or does Plusnet do that?

Thanks,

Dave

@DaveDoc 

This is a multi-step journey...

1. You transfer away the domain's REGISTRATION which gives you access to the name server configuration (DNS)
2. You need to establish a HOSTING service which runs email and / or web services
3. You point your registration provider's DNS to your new hosting services
4. You then change the name server on the domain registration to point to the new hosting services

You might have all of the above in one basket, but you might not, so it helps to understand the concepts.

Until your new services are commissioned, the new DNS server is pointing to them, although you have moved the registration, nothing will change until you change the name severs.

Plusnet will do, does not need to do anything with the existing DNS records.
