My name and privacy
4/16/2014 22:35
Hello,

I chose domain privacy for my new domain name.
However the WHOIS says:

"Registrant Name: "My real name" c/o Dynadot Privacy"

I have a rather special name in my country and when it is like that, the privacy is nonexsitant.


How do I change the name in the WHOIS?

You can update the name on your contact record as long as it's not fake.

How do I edit my domain contact records listed in the Whois?

To edit your contact records, please follow these steps:

  1. Sign in to your Dynadot account.
  2. Select "My Domains" from the left-side menu bar and then click "Contact Records" in the drop-down.
  3. Click on the link associated with the contact record you wish to edit in the "Name/Email" area.
  4. You will be prompted to unlock your account.
  5. Click again on the link associated with the contact record you wish to edit in the "Name/Email" area.
  6. Edit your contact information in the provided form.
  7. Click the "Save" button to save your changes.

NOTE: If you update a Whois contact record that is being used for a generic top-level domain (gTLD), such as .COM, you will receive a Whois Contact Record Verification email from [email protected] to your Whois registrant email (After you hit "Save", you will see information about whether or not this email has been sent out under the "gTLD Verification" section). You will need to click on the link in the email to verify your contact record. Failure to verify your contact record within 15 days will result in the suspension of the domains attached to that contact record (your domains will be set to parking).

Once you update your contact records for your domains, it might take a few days for the public Whois directory to update.
