Extra step for revoke domain names with wrong or incomplete data

02 September 2022

Starting today, domain names with incorrect and/or incomplete registrant data will not be automatically revoked after 14 days. We add an extra step and remove the name server s which means that the domain name will temporarily not work anymore. This is to make clear to the domain name holder that he/she needs to take action to avoid the domain name ending up in quarantine.
 

Concretely:

  1. We notice that a domain name has incorrect or incomplete registrant details:
    • Mail to the registrant and to you as the registrar.
    • The registrant is given 14 days to amend his/her details.   
  2. After 7 days:  
    • Mail to you as registrar as a reminder that the name servers will be deleted within 7 days if the registrant does not take action.
  3. After 14 days  
    • If the data have not been updated, we remove the name servers so that the domain name will no longer work. => Mail to you as registrar
    • The registrant has another 14 days to react and amend his details.
    • If the registrant has modified his details and they are correct => send a mail to the registrant and the registrar to inform them that the domain name has been reactivated.  
  4. After a further 14 days  
    • Data still not updated? Then we revoke the domain name and put it in quarantine. => mail to you as registrar
