The Internet's governing body, ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), requires that all domain owners associate their domains with current personal (registrant, organization, administrative, technical, and billing contact information. All domain name registrars such as Tucows are required to maintain a database of this information, called WHOIS.

Your domain contact information is legally required to permit quick resolution of technical issues related to your domain, and to ensure that trademark and other laws can be enforced. You'll also want to maintain accurate contact information so that you can receive important messages from your registrar, such as renewal notices and domain transfer confirmations. Important: ICANN requires that annual verification emails are sent to make sure your contact information is up to date. Learn more.
