Whois

Jump to: navigation, search

The whois Information page contains all the publicly viewable information for your domain name, and allows you to edit each element individually

Please note that changes to .uk domains ownership information (as well as all domains ending in .uk such as .co.uk) require a £10 plus VAT charge, and must be made through Nominet directly. easyDNS is unable to assist. Details can be found at http://www.nominet.org.uk/registrants/maintain/transfer/

Registry Lock

The registry lock keeps domains from being transferred away by accident or Domain Slamming. Should you need to transfer a domain away from easyDNS, you will need to disable the Registry Lock by clicking Edit.png and then selecting 'Disab;led' from the pull-down menu.

Custom Text Message

*Message must be limited to 5 lines, standard ASCII characters only, with no HTML.


Contact Information

This is the information that will show up in your whois records, and by ICANN regulations must be correct.

Please note : The format of the phone numbers must follow that below, with a '+' sign, followed by the country code (in the case of the US & Canada '1'), then a '.' followed by the full phone number, with no spaces, dots or dashes. Anything else will be rejected by most registries.

If there is no fax number, please leave the field blank. "None" or "N/A" will cause the update to fail.

Domain Owner must include all the information filled out below in our example (changed to be your own, of course). If there is no company involved, the owner's full name should be entered in the Company Name field :

Administrative Contact must include the same information

Technical and Billing contacts are the appendix of the internet. They must be filled in similarly, but are no longer used for anything, and will eventually be removed from the whois structure.
