Typically, Domain Name Contacts are of the following types:

• Registrant Contact

• Administrative Contact

• Technical Contact

• Billing Contact

In the system, Contacts are independent of a domain name. All contact information that you have used for registering any domain name, is maintained separately in a Contact database. This allows you to re-use the contact information for any other domain name registration without having to fill in all the values again. Think of this as linking Contacts from your Contact database to the domain names you register. Whenever you change any contact information in any Contact, it will automatically change that information in every domain name which uses that contact information and reflect the same immediately in the Whois lookup results of your domain name.

To Modify Contact Details for a Domain Name

1. Login to your Control Panel, search for the domain name whose Contact Details you wish to modify and proceed to the Order Information view. 1

   Note

   • If the domain name is Locked/Suspended, you will have to first get it Unlocked/Unsuspended it before proceeding further.

   • For Resellers: If the domain name is Locked by you, you may proceed without Unlocking it.

   • For Resellers: If the domain name is Locked by allumez, you need to get it Unlocked first. Contact us at contact@starplushosting.net.

   • For Resellers: If the domain name is Suspended by either you or allumez, it needs to be first Unsuspended, before you can proceed.

   Note

   • .CA domain names only have Registrant, Administrative and Technical Contacts. There is no Billing Contact.

   • In case of a .NZ domain name, only the Registrant Contact information needs to be provided and hence, the Contact Details view will display only the Registrant Contact. However, the Whois Lookup results of a .NZ domain name will also display an Administrative Contact and a Technical Contact, which displays the same Contact Details as those of the Registrant Contact.

   • Modifying any information of the Registrant Contact for a .NZ ^{(Anchor: nzaddrules)} domain name will result in the change(s) being applied to all .NZ domain names using this Contact. This will also result in a new Unique Domain Authentication ID (UDAI) being generated for each affected domain name.

   • In case of a .CA ^{(Anchor: caaddrules)} domain name, the following is relevant:

     • A Registrant Contact can be either an Individual or a Company.

       Administrative and Technical Contacts can only be Individuals.

       There is no Billing Contact in a .CA domain name.

     • You can not modify the Registrant Contact's Name of a .CA domain name. If you wish to modify the Registrant Contact Details of your .CA domain name, you need to instead create a new Contact and assign it as the Registrant Contact.

   • The following list displays the various types of .DE ^{(Anchor: deaddrules)} Contacts listed in our system and how they are displayed in the Whois of .DE domain names:

     .DE Contact Type displayed in the System	.DE Contact Type displayed in the Whois
     Registrant	Domain Holder
     Admin	Administrative or admin-c
     Technical	Technical or tech-c
     Billing	Zone administrator or zone-c

     The Registrant or the Administrative Contact of a .DE domain name needs to be from Germany. This implies that the country of either of these Contacts needs to be Germany.

     The Name field of any .DE Contact can not be modified. If you wish to modify the Name, create another Contact and associate the same with your .DE domain name.

     While modifying the Contact Details of a .DE domain name, the .DE Registry checks if the Name Servers used by the domain name contain a Zone for this domain name and the correct NS Records.

     If the Name Servers fail to display the Zone file of your .DE domain name and/or display NS Records for the Name Servers, you will not be able to modify the Contact details of your .DE domain name. Moreover, you will be provided 30 days to correct this issue or else your domain name would get Deleted by DENIC.

     Once you have setup your .DE domain name's Zone correctly, you may click the Recheck Nameserver Status button in the Order Information view to confirm the same with the .DE Registry.

Modifying CED Contact Details for a .ASIA domain name

At the time of registering a .ASIA domain name, you are required to designate a CED Contact.

In this regard,

• you may choose either the Registrant, Admin, Technical or Billing Contact as the CED Contact, or

• if none of these Contacts meet the CED requirement, you can use the CED Contact provided by allumez. In this case, the Technical Contact provided by you gets replaced by the CED Contact. Due to this, information of the Technical Contact associated with such a .ASIA domain name cannot be modified.

To Modify the CED Contact associated with a .ASIA domain name

1. Login to your Control Panel, search for the domain name and proceed to the Order Information view. 4

   Note

   If the domain name is Locked/Suspended, you will have to first get it Unlocked/Unsuspended it before proceeding further.

   For Resellers: If the domain name is Locked by allumez, you need to get it Unlocked first. Contact our Support Team at contact@starplushosting.net.

   For Resellers: If the domain name is Suspended by either you or allumez, it needs to be first Unsuspended, before you can proceed.
