ICANN Domain Verification Requirements

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) requires all accredited registrars to verify the Registrant contact information for domain names. This applies to both new domain registrations and any updates to existing registrant details.

Verification Process

• When you register a new domain or update registrant contact details, a verification email is sent to the registrant’s email address.
• You must respond to this email within 15 days to confirm your contact information.
• If no response is received, the domain will be suspended by the registry until verification is completed.

Why Verification Matters

• Ensures compliance with ICANN regulations.
• Prevents fraudulent domain registrations.
• Guarantees that registrant contact details are accurate and up to date.

How to Check or Update Your Contact Information

You can review and update your domain contact details via the Fast2Host Client Area under My Domains. Make sure your registrant email address is valid and accessible.

If Your Domain Is Suspended

If your domain is suspended due to non-verification, you will see a holding page with instructions on how to verify and unsuspend the domain. Once verification is completed, your domain will be reactivated.

Keeping your domain contact information accurate is vital to avoid suspension and ensure uninterrupted service.
