If you redelegate your domain from another service to Turbify, you'll update your domain name's contact information through your domain name registrar.
If your domain is registered through Turbify, the personal information you provided in your order was used to register your domain name.
Important: As of December 1, 2016 new domain transfer policies enacted by ICANN have revised the domain contact information update procedure. Additional verification steps must be completed before the update to the contact information will be accepted. The new flow for making updates is as follows:
- Domain owner updates the Registration Contact information (Registrant email address).
- An email is sent to the new Registrant, who verifies the update.
- A final confirmation email is sent to new Registrant.
Tip: For Website Builder plans, there won't be a Domains link in the Dashboard if there's no domain connected to your site.
Note: Due to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), WHOIS information has been changed to comply with GDPR requirements. Learn more.
