It can be registered by the original registrant.

If you are not the owner of the domain name you will not be able to register it until it has been cancelled by the previous owner and it comes up as available on the search facility.

If a domain name has been detagged, the name servers associated with the domain name will be removed. Services associated with the domain name, for example web site hosting and email forwarding will stop working.  Once a domain name is detagged, we will assume that the tag holder no longer has the registrant’s authority to act as its agent for the domain name.

You can contact Pickaweb to have your domain name retagged and move it into our system to activate it.

If your domain name has been detagged this is probably because you did not renew your domain name in time.

You can transfer the domain name to us and renew it by requesting to Nominet.org.uk the change of your IPS tag to TUCOWS-CA

Please let us know once that has been done by sending an email to us to support@pickaweb.co.uk and we will process a transfer in for your domain name into our system.

In future you will be able to manage your domain name through Pickaweb and also renew it at our prices.
