Title: WHOIS database email recieved this morning.
Post by: Gary on Mar 10, 2010, 10:26:58
Anyone else had one who has their own domain for email? I spoke to support as it says it came from Idnet, but I didnt reply to it as it had a link I was not going to follow as I have never had an email about updating my details on a domain before, they asked me to email support to update it instead  :dunno:

I have had requests of that sort before, Gary, but my domains are not with IDNet.  I believe it's a legal requirement to provide current details.

Its odd I have had a domain a while now and never had one, it didn't sound great when it said stated it was for ICANN, the organization responsible for the stability of the Internet, and that it requires that each domain name registrant be given the opportunity to correct any inaccurate contact data (WHOIS data) associated with a domain name registration. Our records for your domain are as follows xxxxxxx

As if the internet is stable in the first place  ;D

Edit: Support have done it for me so, it must have been legit, still never heard of this though

I've had one or two from an American company, telling me that my domain name has expired, when it clearly hadn't
