IMMEDIATE VERIFICATION Required for Your Domain(s)

    As of January 1, 2014, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has mandated a crucial change affecting all domain registrants. Furthermore, to enhance security, transparency, and the accuracy of domain ownership information, ICANN now requires all accredited registrars to prove verification of the WHOIS contact information for new domain registrations and any modifications made to existing Registrant contact details.

    This change also applies to all domains, regardless of their purpose or use, and is designed to prevent fraud, ensure domain authenticity, and maintain a secure digital environment.

    What Does This Mean for You?

    As a valued Registrant with Namecheap, you are required to verify the following contact information associated with your domains:

    • Name: [Your Name]
    • Address Line 1: [Your Address Line 1]
    • City: New York
    • State/Province: NY
    • Postal Code: 10038
    • Country: US
    • Email Address: [Your Email]

    Overall, this information is linked to one or more of your registered domains. To comply with ICANN’s policy and prevent potential suspension of your domains, you must complete a simple verification process. Failure to do so could result in the suspension of your domains, rendering them inactive and inaccessible to users.

    Why is This Verification Necessary?

    ICANN’s new policy aims to:

    • Improve Accuracy: Ensure domain contact details are correct, current, and verifiable.
    • Prevent Fraud and Abuse: Protect domain owners and internet users from scams, fraud, and malicious activities by making it harder for bad actors to hide behind fake contact details.
    • Enhance Security: Provide a more secure and reliable internet environment by making identifying and contacting domain owners easier.

    How to Verify Your Information

    Moreover, to verify your contact information, follow these steps:

    1. Review Your Details: Ensure all the contact information listed above is correct. If any information is incorrect, please update it immediately in your Namecheap account.
    2. Agree to the Registration Agreement: As a registrant, you must agree to Namecheap’s Registration Agreement, which outlines the terms and conditions for your domain registration. This agreement is a standard requirement to maintain your registration with Namecheap.
    3. Verify Your Email Address: Click the link below to verify your Registrant email address. By doing so, you confirm that you have reviewed and also agreed to the terms of our Registration Agreement.

    Deadline for Verification

    Please be aware that verification must be completed by 08/01/2024. Failure to verify by this date will result in the suspension of the domains listed below:

    • [Domain1.com]
    • [Domain2.net]
    • [Domain3.org]

    Suspension means that your domains will no longer be visible or accessible on the internet, which could impact your website traffic, email functionality, and overall online presence. To avoid any disruption, we strongly urge you to take action immediately.

    What Happens If You Do Not Verify?

    If you do not complete the verification process by the specified deadline:

    • Your Domain(s) Will Be Suspended: All services associated with the domain(s), such as websites and email addresses, will cease functioning.
    • Access to Domain Management Tools Will Be Restricted: You may not be able to change your domain settings until verification is completed.
    • Reinstatement May Take Time: Once your domains are suspended, reinstatement after verification may take additional time, and your services will also remain offline.
