Business Name response from domain site

[Guest guest]

This is just an FYI:

 

Real contact information is required by ICANN in order to generate

accountability for what is placed on a domain by any entity registering a

domain name. Many customers prefer to use their business address instead of

their home information. As long as the information is correct, using your

business address is not a problem.

 

The contact information of an individual who has registered a domain name is

required to be legitimate contact information. This information is also

required to be available to the public through the WHOIS database. According

to ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers,) the

governing body for the registration of domain names, a domain name

registered by an entity providing invalid contact information is grounds for

revocation of the registration of the domain name. They state that

registrars 'should require not only that registrants respond to inquiries

within 15 days but that the response be accompanied by documentary proof of

the accuracy of the 'corrected' data submitted, and that a response lacking

such documentation may be treated as a failure to respond.'

 

You can use alternative means of contact information if your anonymity is

required in owning your domain addresses. Items such as

http://www.alternativeidentity.com/ can be used to keep your information

valid and keep your own identity a private matter.

 

There is no requirement that says you have to use your own information for

these listings. As long as it is valid information that will get to you if

you are needed for any reason.

 

There you have it, if you want to use alternativeidentity, then It's $10 per

year.
