Domain Validation

ICANN has implemented a twist on something that has actually been around for a while.  Periodicially (annually) you will receive notice to validate the accuracy of your domain information.  Up until now, most people ignored this email.  Now if you ignore this email, your domain could be shut off by ICANN until you validate it.

Providing false or inaccurate Whois (contact) information can be grounds for the cancellation of your domain name registration. If the information is incorrect, you can either log into your client area , go to your domains, click manage, and scroll to the Contact Information (bottom) and update there.  Or you can contact us at the Help Desk to assist you in updating it.
