RE: FN-FORUM: 1&1 uk domain hosting

Hi Jamie,

It's seem they don't have any dns setup abilities like ukreg.

A mate thought he would be able to put his 1&1 purchased domain on our
1&1 server, but couldn't figure it out.

I think he came to the conclusion he would have to transfer it away -
which may be free ?
Was just a speculative thing so I don't think he's bothered as yet
though.

All my domains are with ukreg so Im not much use there.

Ian

P.s. if this isn't useful does that mean the chocolate bar remains
uneaten and therefore can be sent to me to be eaten. I really could do
with some chocolate at the mo ;) Just not won another contract. Boo Hoo.
Violins. Ah yes.
