Thank you all for the replies received. I systematically went through every
page on the web site and hidden in the text of one of the pages was a
hyperlink to contact them,
Their response came back within the hour give me a URL to transfer the TAG
out. If there are any UK2.net customers out there it might be worth noting it
down:
http://amail.co.uk/moveaway.htm
Part of the process involves sending them a fax on your headed notepaper [If
you are a private subscriber, I am not sure how you would do that!].
At first sight, there does not appear to be any transfer charges that will be
raised although I would be happy to pay a very nominal sum for the service
[i.e. sub £10] and would regard £75 as a total rip off - sadly there are quite
a few registrars that seem to think that such silly prices are perfectly OK.
My advice to any one making a move is to determine up front the entry and exit
costs.
I was aware of the DNS mangement facility with uk2.net but it is any extra
costing £1.49 a month. I am off to Compila:
http://web.compila.com/personal_page...ing_index.html whose total
costs are better value.
