What is the IPS Tag?
Every .uk domain has a unique label or identifier known as a "Tag." The IPS tag (Internet Provider Security), also known as the "Registrar tag," indicates the provider or company that is currently managing your domain name registration and DNS services. This tag serves as a security measure implemented by Nominet, the registry responsible for .uk domains.
Why is the IPS (Registrar) Tag important?
The IPS or Registrar tag is important when switching registrars! It serves as a unique identifier that must be transferred between registrars during a .uk domain move. This process ensures a smooth and secure transfer, preventing any mix-ups or unauthorized changes.
Important note! HostGator does not support transferring .uk domains into our platform at this time. As a result, .uk domains cannot be moved to HostGator for registration or management.
Please do not change the IPS or registrar tag to HostGator, as this action is not supported and may cause issues with domain access or control.
If you currently have a .uk domain, it will need to remain with your existing registrar for management and renewal.
