Registering a domain name is the first step that you take in establishing a presence on the world wide web. The domain name you choose for your business or organisation plays a powerfull part in drawing existing and potential customers to your site. Domain names can be purchased through Professional Net Services at very competitive rates. Domain names available include .com, .org, .co.uk, .org.uk. Free hosting and e-mail addresses are included for the first year.

If you wish to move a domain name to our control, then you will need to ask your current ISP (Internet Service Provider) host to update some details. There is no charge for transferring a domain name to Professional Net Services. It is essential that you notify us when transferring a domain name to our control - please e-mail us on sales@ukprofessional.net. Failure to do this may result in your domain name being deleted when annual renewal fees are due.

You will need to provide your current ISP with the following information.

We also guarantee that if you wish to transfer your domain away from us for ANY reason, there is no additional cost except for a small administration fee of £30 and we will endeavor to ensure that the transfer is carried out as quickly as possible.

POP3 forwarding
This system, which directs individual pop3 addresses to an external account, is convenient for those with multiple mailboxes.
