Update the NIC WhoIs record for a domain

Can I update the NIC WhoIs record for my domain? Will you do it for me?

You certainly can. In fact, you are obligated to keep your NIC record up-to-date. Once your domain name registration has been completed, you become the administrative contact (owner in a way) of the domain. You are entitled to modify your domain name record.

When your domain name registration is completed, you will receive an email message that includes your registry key. Be sure to save this key and keep it in a safe and reliable place. When you need to change information in your NIC record, have your registry key handy and go to http://www.inww.com/maintenance/gtld/ Enter your domain name and your registry key in the specified fields and choose Edit Contact Details.

If you need to update your Technical Contact (DNS, or nameserver) information, please see http://www.domainsforbeginners.com/htmls/faqs/have_site.html for further instructions.

Will we do it for you?
No. The domain name registration fees charged by us do not cover such updates or maintenance of your public records. In addition, for security reasons, your registry key is not readily accessible to our Customer Service department. Please visit InterNIC Registration Service's Web site at the above URL and fill out the appropriate forms there. Please be sure to follow their instructions.
