How do I update my domain's contact or owner details?  Print this Article

Short answer: open a support ticket with the domain name and the new details. We'll reply with anything else we need.

To change your own account details, such as your name, email address or postal address, see "How do I update my account details or reset my client area password?". The contacts on a domain are separate: you can see them in your client area under Domains, then My Domains, Manage, then Contact Information.

Changing the owner or contact details on a domain

  1. Open a support ticket with the domain name.
  2. Give the new owner's or contact's details: name, company if there is one, email address and phone number.

Why it matters

For a .co.za domain, the registry's approval emails, such as the one for a transfer, go to the email address on the domain's record. Keep it an address you can read.

If it still doesn't work

Reply on your ticket with the domain name.

To send us the right details first time, see "How do I open a support ticket, and what should I include?".
