This article explains how to update your domain WHOIS contact details (Registrant/Admin/Tech) for domains managed in My.GARMTECH.
Keeping WHOIS contacts up to date is important for domain ownership verification, renewal reminders, and transfer approvals.
Before you start
- Make sure you can receive email at the registrant email address you plan to use.
- Some domain zones (TLDs) require an extra confirmation step after updates.
Update WHOIS contacts in My.GARMTECH
- Sign in to My.GARMTECH.
- Open Domains.
- Find your domain and click Manage.
- Locate Contact Information / WHOIS Contacts (wording may vary).
- Update the required fields (name, organization, address, phone, email).
- Click Save.
Confirmations and what to expect
- Many generic TLDs send a confirmation email (for example, to approve an email address change). Follow the instructions in that email if you receive one.
- Changes can take time to propagate to public WHOIS systems. In many cases it can take several hours (sometimes longer) depending on the registry.
- Some TLDs have stricter rules (local presence, documents, manual checks). In such cases, the update may require additional verification.
Common mistakes
- Typos in email: if you enter the wrong email address, you may miss important verification messages.
- Using an email you don’t control: always use an address you can access.
- Domain is expired: for expired domains, some changes may be blocked until the domain is renewed.
