Updating Your Domain Name Contact Information
It's important to keep your domain names' registrant, administrator, technical, and billing contact information (also known as your Whois information) updated at all times. We use this information to notify the pertinent contact of changes or requests for your domain names.
You can enter different contact information for each of your domain names, or you can enter the same contact information for all of them.
You can update all four contact types at once (registrant, administrator, technical, and billing), or you can update them individually.
