Domain contact information plays a crucial role in managing your domain ownership effectively. Here's what you need to know about managing contact information for your domain:

• Admin - Secondary contact who receives most domain emails
• Tech - Backup contact for critical domain emails only
• Billing - Backup contact for critical domain emails and billing matters

Important Formatting Guidelines

• Avoid using domain-associated email addresses
• Don't use Apple email addresses (@mac.com, @me.com, @icloud.com)
• Remove any trailing spaces
• Must be accessible for transfer notifications

Phone Number:

• Enter without dashes or country code
• Country code adds automatically based on address

Address Details:

• Address 1: Include only street number and name

• Postal Code: Must be correctly formatted

Keeping Information Updated

It's essential to maintain current contact information because:

• Email verification is required for domain ownership
• Contact details are needed for domain transfers

Whois Privacy

• Automatically enabled for most domains
• Some country code domains (ccTLDs) don't support Whois privacy
• Can be disabled if needed

Verification Requirements

For owner contact changes:

Best Practices
