More Information
We do not allow the ability to create new or delete contacts for gTLD domain names (.com, .net, .org, .biz, .info), you are able to update the existing contact handles linked to the domain name.
Please note: Updating the registrant contact for a gTLD domain (.com, .net, .org, .biz, .info) name will change the legal owner of that domain name. Updating the registrant contact for a .au domain will not change the ownership of that domain.
Whois Contact Data Reminder emails
According to the Whois Data Reminder Policy (WDRP) of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), an annual reminder notice is sent to the registrant of every generic Top Level Domain (gTLD) domain name, (such as .com, .net, .biz, etc). This notice advises domain name owners to ensure their registrant contact details are correct. Domain name registrants are required to review their Whois Data and inform the relevant registrar of any corrections.
If your whois contact details displayed in the email are still valid, no action is required. However, if your contact details have changed, you will need to log in to your Customer Control Panel and update the registrant contact details.
