According to the regulations introduced by Internet Corporation of Assigned Names & Numbers (ICANN) which governs most domain registration, starting on January 1, 2014 we are sending Whois validation emails. Whois validation will only be needed for the Registrant contact information for generic TLDs (gTLDs) in the following cases:
- for new registrations;
- for registrant contact information changes on existing domains.
When a new domain is registered, we will immediately send an email to the Registrant email address specified for the domain. The verification email will be also sent if an edit is made to either of the following Registrant contact fields:
- Registrant First Name
- Registrant Last name
- Registrant Email Address
If the Registrant email is changed, the email will be sent to the new email address specified. If you received any notice pertaining to domain validation, simply process the link as stated and your domain will be validated.
