Internet Provider Security (IPS) tags are used by Internet Service Providers (ISP) to allow control of the Domain Name System (DNS). An IPS tag is the case sensitive label that applies to each ISP and is required to transfer domain names from one ISP to another. All ISPs are allocated these tags when they apply to become an ISP.
The meaning of IPS tag was created and lost with Nominet UK's predecessor the Naming Committee, however it is widely accepted that it probably stands for Internet Provider Security Tag.
The term "IPS" is now considered obsolete by Nominet, and has since been replaced by the term "registrar".
