Domain Contacts

Introduction

A domain contact, also known as a “domain handle,” is an independent data record that can be assigned to one or more domains. The domain contact can be used for various aspects of domain management. These include the Owner-C, Admin-C, Zone-C, and Tech-C. A domain contact always contains the complete contact information for a natural person or legal entity. Depending on the top-level domain, different details may be required for registration.

Overview of Contacts

Navigate to the menu item Domains → Contacts to access the overview of domain contacts. Using this overview, you can view assigned contacts, create new contacts, or edit existing contacts.

Create a Contact

First, navigate to the domain contacts overview. Then click the Create Contact button.

Fill out the form to create a contact as desired and click the Create Contact button to use the new domain contact for registering or transferring a domain.

Individual Contact

For this type of domain contact, specifying the organization is optional; instead, entering the first name and last name is required. The contact holder is a single natural person.

Organization Contact

For this type of domain contact, specifying the organization is required; however, the first name and last name are optional. The contact is not held by an individual, but rather by the specified organization or legal entity.

Edit Contact

To edit an existing contact, select the desired contact from the overview. Use the Edit Contact button to edit the contact’s master data.

Please note that a contact’s type cannot be changed after it has been created. For example, if you want to transfer the domain owner from an individual PERSON to an organization ORG, first create a new contact and then assign it to the domain.

You can edit all the information within the pop-up window. Then save your changes by clicking the Save Changes button.
