WRONG! TRY AGAIN.
The contact information of an individual who has registered a domain
name is required to be legitimate contact information. This information
is also required to be available to the public through the WHOIS database.
According to ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers),
the governing body for the registration of domain names, a domain name
registered by an entity providing invalid contact information is grounds
for revocation of the registration of the domain name. They state that
registrars 'should require not only that registrants respond to inquiries
within 15 days but that the response be accompanied by documentary proof
of the accuracy of the 'corrected' data submitted, and that a response
lacking such documentation may be treated as a failure to respond.'
Replying will ensure there is no loss of services on your domain.
If you are concerned about your privacy online, note that your WHOIS
domain contact information has to be accurate, but it does not have to
be your home address. It can be a work or business' address.
Why must we do this? Unfortunately, as a domain name registrar, the
Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has placed
the responsibility on us to enforce the governing body's rules,
including seeing to it that information provided in WHOIS is up to date
and accurate.
Failure for Intercosmos to adhere to these rules, after being notified
of a potential violation, is grounds for our company's accreditation to
be revoked. One major registrar already was threatened with this very
action.
JUST AN EMAIL LOL MY ASS!@
