Going Live

Where the domain was purchased by the Company on the Customer's behalf; within 48 hours of receipt of the request, or where agreed with the Customer's Network, proof of compliance approval/sign off.
Where the domain is not under our control; the Company will communicate the necessary steps the Customer needs to take to point their domain name at their IFAPortal website once the website is built.
Domain Names
If required, and at no cost to the Customer, we will register their chosen co.uk domain name for them.
All subsequent renewal fees will be paid by the Company provided that the Customer continues to subscribe to our services.
If the Customer decides to transfer their domain name to another service, any costs incurred by the Company will be recharged to the Customer at cost plus a £50 administration fee, this fee may be waived at our discretion.
If the Customer already has a domain name they wish to use, we will assist in its transfer as necessary. The Company will make no extra charge, but sometimes the registrar with which the Customer has registered their domain may require a transfer fee, which is payable by the Customer.
