DOMAIN contact Details

[AusDomainer]

I was wondering if your contact details need to be 100% correct. ATM everything is correct but in my address field I have written in N/A. Reason for this is I don't want junk mail and so on. I have my mobile,email,post code, state, Name and country correct. So it is possible to contact me and I haven't provided and fraudulent data correct? and does this violate the TOS?

and does this violate the TOS?

From what I understand it does. I could be wrong.
But if you are concerned, you could just use private registration.

 

[weblord]

yes. it needs to be accurate and icann.org will send out reminder to you to update it.
if that's your concern then get a free whois privacy protection. in name.com you can get that free.

I have very few with private reg. You can use fake information if you want, but if someone reports it and you don't correct it you could lose the domain, I hear...

The main thing I think to be concerned with is SPAM. One solution is to create special email forwards to use in your contact records. If one starts getting a lot of spam, you can create another forward and delete the old one.

By the way, it's a very good idea to make sure you can get email from at least 2 of the contacts, and that both of the emails are different. If one email becomes invalid or does not work, you still want to get renewal or other notices.

I have all of my domains public. I use gmail and I hardly ever see spam. Maybe one message every other week. *maybe*

and nowadays here in our country they're becoming more techie everyday and the only proof i can show them (besides the front page/contents, of course) is the domain whois that I really own the domain and can do the same for them.
