A few domain-related questions

Nominet would be his registrar in this case ABC just registered it on his
behalf. Here is a link to Nominet's FAQ for changing Hosts(or registration
agent as they call it)

DNS just tells requests made on the Domain where to go (i.e Mail traffic
gets sent to mail.mydomain.co.uk and web traffic gets directed to the IP of
the webserver)
The mailservers you listed belong to ABC so I dont see why he wouldn't just
dont cancel
service with ABC before Nameservers update.

Im a little lost on this one? Is he hosting the site on his own server over
DSL or is it hosted
on one of ABC's webservers? I believe it is the latter and if so there
should be no effect. When you point the domain at the new server they(New
Hosting Company) will give you the correct NameServer IP's and his IP if
they are providing IP based hosting.

 > 3) The domain name is registered with Nominet nic.co.uk through
ABCnet.com.

I have looked over Nominet and I do not think they offer a Domain Manager
like NetSol or Gandi

I hope this helps feel free to email or post to the group with any more
questions

Nominet are not a registrar.

ABCnet.co.uk are a valid registrar for .co.uk names. ABCnet.com are not.

Usual confusion when OP doesn't give the name.
