Nominet sets February date for major .UK changes

February is now the deadline for a new .UK transfer process and other registry-level changes.

The news matters less for daily domain buyers than for registrars and anyone holding .UK infrastructure: transfer mechanics are about to move.

Expect registrants to feel the change only when they move a domain — and to notice if their registrar is slow to adapt.

A quiet registry operation change, but one that rewires the backbone of the UK namespace.
