Your registrar does this by sending an email to the Administrative Contact and Technical Contact email addresses of record each year.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The subject line of that email will look similar to the title of this Article.\u00a0 In fact, if we are administrating your domain name for you, then your email will look exactly like this:<\/p>\n

Why Is My Name Wrong?<\/h2>\n
It starts “Dear ___ ___,” .\u00a0 The first name and last name are taken from your domain name record.\u00a0 You may have weird entries here, because maybe your first name and last name was specified as “Executive Director” or some other functional name, instead of a personal name.\u00a0 This is something we have done in past for organizations that might have some change in the personnel, and eliminates the need to update the record needlessly.\u00a0 Most registrars now include a field for first name, last name, and position.\u00a0 It was not always this way, however.<\/p>\n
Verify Your Contact Info!<\/h2>\n
A link is provided to allow you to view the contact information for the registrant, Admin Contact and Technical Contact.\u00a0 You should check this information carefully and make sure it is accurate.\u00a0 The really important part of these records are the email addresses, since that is how virtually all communication between the contacts and the registrar are handled.\u00a0 Also important are the telephone numbers and the addresses.\u00a0 If we handle administrating your domain name for you, and any changes should be made to the contact information, let us know and we will update the record for you<\/a>.\u00a0 If you handle your domain name yourself, then update that record as needed, but don’t put it off.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What is This Email Notice About?
