ICANN's Whois validation process

According to the regulations introduced by Internet Corporation of Assigned Names & Numbers (ICANN) starting on January 1, 2014 we are sending Whois validation emails. Whois validation will only be needed for the Registrant contact information for generic TLDs (gTLDs) in the following cases:

- for new registrations;
- for registrant contact information changes on existing domains.

When a new domain is registered, we will immediately send an email to the Registrant email address specified for the domain. The verification email will be also sent if an edit is made to either of the following Registrant contact fields:

 - Registrant First Name
 - Registrant Last name
 - Registrant Email Address

If the Registrant email is changed, the email will be sent to the new email address specified.

You must verify the email address by clicking on the link within 15 calendar days after registration. If you do not verify within 15 calendar days, the domain will be suspended, the DNS of the domain name will be changed. The domain will resolve into a landing page with the instructions on how the verification can be made and, as a result, the DNS returned to the previous settings and your website restored. Additional notifications are sent 10 and 5 days prior to suspension; shortly before the suspension we are sending the final notice.
