This section is intended to inform our visitors and current customers about new services and other information we will release from time to time. Currently we are working on the development of new and interesting solutions on which we will release information shortly. Be aware.

This notice is reminder of several policy updates mandated by the Internet Corporation of Assigned Names & Numbers (ICANN - http://www.icann.org) that come into force 1st January 2014.

The Registrar Accreditation Agreement for registrars was updated, as announced in the summer. This update contained specific changes that we must comply with and these changes enforce practices such as ensuring correctly formatted email addresses and telephone numbers:

1. From 1st January 2014 there is an increased requirement for accurate address registrant data. ICANN mandate that registrant addresses are correctly formatted for the country or territory as defined by the Universal Postal Union (UPU) addressing format templates, the S42 address templates or other standard formats. Address data submitted through your Customer Administration Panel will need to be compliant to these standards.

2. ICANN have specified that we must now verify the Registrant email address associated with all gTLD domain name registrations (Contact Verification). This is to take place with any new email addresses and/or first or last names associated with a domain. As this is a change to the standard practice we will implement that as follows:

This validation is therefore applicable to any domain contact modification (of the above details) and all inbound domain name transfers. The process for verification is as per 2.a. above.

As part of the ICANN policy changes it's our duty to provide you with two direct links to ICANN webpages that provide registrants with additional and important information for them:
