Updating WHOIS contact information

Change the registrant, admin, or technical contact details attached to your domain.

The contact details on a domain must be accurate — registries require it, and a valid registrant email is what lets you approve transfers and recover access. You can update them any time from the dashboard.

How to update

Open the domain and go to Contacts.
Edit the registrant, administrative, or technical contact as needed.
Save — with WHOIS privacy on, the public record still shows the proxy details.

Registrant email changes

For most gTLDs, changing the registrant name or email triggers a verification step and a short transfer lock, as required by ICANN policy. This is normal and protects you against unauthorised changes.

Keep the registrant email current even behind WHOIS privacy — it is where ownership and transfer approvals are sent.
