On an annual basis, ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) has an established policy that requires domain registrars must provide the current registrant the current whois information. This policy is to remind people of both the need to maintain current contact information and that the information cannot be falsely presented or risk losing the domain registration.
This notification is done by email and will be coming from do_not_reply@whoisreminder.info. They are sending these emails on our behalf and is a legitimate message.
- If this information is correct, no action is required of you.
- If this information is not correct, please log in to our client area and update the information to your current information
- Do not use an email address that is associated with this domain. If your domain is fullhost.com, do not use myname@fullhost.com. If there ever was an issue with the domain, for example, a domain suspension or badly configured DNS records, you would be unable to send and receive correspondence.
The full policy of ICANN can be found here. The domain TLDs that ICANN manages can be found here.
We utilize some suppliers to provide some of our domain management services. Below is a sample WDPR email:
