There are many reasons why you might need to change the<\/span> contact information associated with a domain name. <\/b>For example, you may be a web developer that registered the domain for a client who now wants to take over<\/span> the website management <\/b>themselves. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you no longer have anything to do with the project, it makes sense to<\/span> ensure your contact details<\/b> aren’t associated with it<\/b>, either. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, if you <\/span>take care of the <\/b>domain<\/b><\/a>,<\/b> you must keep the data up-to-date. Registrars use this information to ensure site owners are always aware of important events regarding their domains.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you miss the registrar’s notifications, you may inadvertently allow other people to make unauthorized changes to your account and may even <\/span>lose control over your domain.<\/b> Here’s what you need to do to change the contact details on domains registered with <\/span>ScalaHosting<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you<\/span> register your domain <\/b>during the signup process, our system will use the contact information you use for your hosting account and associate it with the domain. You can later change it from your <\/span>Client Area<\/b><\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can see<\/span> a list of all the domains currently registered<\/b> under your customer account in the <\/span>Domains<\/b> section. There’s a checkbox next to each of them allowing you to select it, and below the list, there’s a bulk actions drop-down menu.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

The <\/span>Edit Contact Information<\/b> options lets you view and modify the registrant data.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because <\/span>most of the notifications arrive via <\/b>email<\/b><\/a>, the administrative email address is the most crucial bit of information you must update. It’s a good idea to use an address at a public email provider like <\/span>Gmail <\/b>or <\/span>Yahoo <\/b>as the administrative email.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That way, if the domain stops working for some reason, you will still be able to<\/span> receive notifications<\/b> about it. Feel free to <\/span>get in touch with our technical support team <\/b>if you need any further assistance.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
