Verify Contact

As of January 1, 2014, ICANN requires all accredited registrars to verify your new contact information.
You can read about ICANN's new policy at: http://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/raa/approved-with-specs-27jun13-en.htm#whois-accuracy.

In order to ensure your domain name remain active, upon the anniverary, modifcations and any changes the contact must be verified. We are a reseller for OPENSRS and they likely will send an email to the contact like the picture below.

That email will have a link to a webpage that will have instructions. Failure to complete this process can eventually lead to the suspension of your domain name(s). As a reseller we are contacted prior to any suspensions of registrations that we resale and we do make reasonable efforts to work with the domain owner to avoid suspensions.

PLEASE BE AWARE that scams/phising email could be possible and some have already been reported within days of the requirement by ICANN. So do carefully read any email that suggest links and may have attachments. If you are not sure the email is from us, or you have any questions, please contact us.

While we do not like this new requirement and reqret that it will cause confusion and opportunity for scams, it is a fact. Again let us say to our customers that if you are unsure, contact us.

Sincerely,

Cocoa Village Publishing
