ignoring those godaddy Icann confirmation emails
 

any hazard to ignoring those automated Icann confirmation emails godaddy sends out yearly to confirm contact info? seems like a waste of time, if I sign into my godaddy account once in a while they better assume that my info is how I want it on all my domains

I feel your pain, man. Those get annoying... quickly.

yeah, especially when I have my domain contact spread over a couple of dozen different email addresses

i know i did not replied any of them, but i think its needed so i will confirm that shit in very near future ... :2 cents:

I never answer my phone either if I don't recognize the number calling, so they might as well not bother phoning either

Bez obav, já jsem to kvůli tobě. :upsidedow

i've never bothered responding as all my info is legit, and i've never had a problem. if i lost a domain over it, i would shit fucking bricks though...

ty mela ucila cestina lyp :)

that would be very low of a registrar to ever pull anything like that

Same here.. i have about 1,000 names, almost 700 are with godaddy,.. i have responded to some, but i know i have missed a ton..

always thought i should call them and ask them about those emails, but never have...

i have heard horror stories about godaddy reselling names before, but it's never happened to me..

if it did ever happen over not responding to an email even though everything else was paid up and all contact info was ok, i would pull all 700+/- sites from them immediately...

i have found in the past a few typos i have made on email contacts (and did it in bulk, like affecting 50 sites or so..) and those typos may have been there for months, but i always was ok.. and if i wasn't, with the amount of domains i have i think it would warrant a phone call as a backup.

so far (knock on my wood) I have only had one issue in the past decade and that was with idotz.net.. will never use them again.. gotta say that they are kind of shady.... would not trust them ever.....

what would be really shitty, is if your registrar likes one of your domains, and uses the ICANN rules to take it from you.

they simply point to the ICANN rules, the emails they have sent out to "warn" you to make sure the whois contact info is correct, then oh snap....


Fight the doomsday scenario!

i heard asses are burning if you not confirm

the thing is, who is to say that contact info is ok or not? if I don't answer my phone, does that make it not ok? if i change my mailing address and forget to update an old domain and they get a 'return to sender' is that "not ok"? if I have my domains spread out to a couple of hundred different friends names throughout my account who is to say it is not ok?


what is the definition of "not ok" when it comes to domain name contact info?

Yea, what could be happening is someone is inquiring about the domain, either by dmca'ing godaddy, or possibly someone is trying to have the domain forfeited by proving the whois is bunk. Not saying this is the case but it is a possibility. I'd reply. If they cant confirm your whois technically that is a violation of icann's tos and the domain can be forfeited.
This is a possibility. Im not accusing you of doing anything wrong. :)

don't they have to confirm contact info every year?

I accidentally deleted one of those emails from godaddy. Phoned them up and they weren't too concerned about it. They simple told me to log in and check the whois info, and if it was legit then not to worry.

well in the past decade, the only actual postal mailings i have gotten were those scam bogus domain renewal notifications (most of which have be prosecuted, but i still get a few here and there)...

i have never gotten any snail mail from any of the 2 dozen registrars i belong to (maybe one or two from network solutions back in the 90's, but who uses them anymore LMFAO!!)...

i would think they could be in big shit if there was anything that indicated them trying to use icann regs to scam people.. however i have heard horror stories before..

now i am paranoid and think i might need to call them to make sure i won't get screwed lol..

I believe as long as the whois info is correct you have nothing to worry about.

If your info is all correct I wouldn't worry about them. Different registrar for me but I never bother with those emails.

All you have to do is log in, click the icann link and you're done. It gives you a view of all your names and you don't have to change anything, confirm anything, etc. It just wants you to check the icann page, thats all.

I get 3 or 4 letters a year in the mail from some "Canadian Domain Registry" offering to renew my upcoming .com renewals with them for $45/year. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, I'll hop all fucking over that...

Our info hasn't changed in years. Thank god, it would be a pain checking thousands of whois records... lol

I get them every week, annoying is not a big enough word for them. Just ignore.

I think it's a deliberate ploy to get you to visit their site and maybe think about registering a few domains...

why do you guys learn czech or are you from here? if so, then "nazdar vole" -:)

Just take a couple of minutes and log in... it's only once a year.

waste of time

I never ignore anything when it comes to my domains. Not worth the risk when it only takes a couple seconds of my time.

I do not ignore them, anyway, I agree it's quite annoying.

I Got one of those annoying messages today. It didn't take too long to scan through the records to be sure they are correct. It is worth the time to be sure an important domain has the right contact info.

I'm still struggling with the "correct" concept.... what specifically would make info "incorrect"? :helpme

:thumbsup

Yes, those emails are annoying indeed. I've used godaddy. I've ignored them. Nothing was wrong.

Click, click domaininade;
Around the corner fudge is made.


Wait, what?

Invalid or fabricated address, email, phone number.

Moniker sends the same reminders. It seems to be based on the date they're registered rather than something a little more coarse like domains registered in month X, so if you tend to register 1 or 2 domains here and there (thus spreading out their renewal dates) you get a lot of those emails. :(

Funny thing is I have WHOIS privacy so the contact details are essentially irrelevant. I know they're correct, anyway.

Godaddy can eat your heart.
... or steal your domains...
sidestep godaddy - very very dangerous registrator.
for me godaddy is scammers.

GD sucks
