ICANN info, how many do I fill out?

[dudeman]

Under Contact Information, there are 4 sections: Owner, Technical, Billing, Administrative

Do I have to fill out all 4 of those?

Also if all the information is the same is it required to fill them all out?

 

[Shorty]

I think it's required that you fill in all, and i'd advise that you do, even if they are all the same.

Fill them all out, and unless your particularly sensitive about displaying the information in whois, id recommend you make that information available in whois...

So many registrars offer free whois protection but I often wonder why, some domainers have sold domains by providing that contact information.

It's required. And what's sad, and I mean really sad is a rival may even report you to ICANN if you violate their terms, too.

I just use a blind service (everything is automatically filled out, and you have choices on who/where/what can send you email), keeps the kooks at bay, as well as rivals who have too much time on their hands.

yeah, i heard people domains will get stripped if you lie about your information.

I put my first name as just an initial though, hope thats cool with them, i guess its required u have a phone number to have a website, makes me wonder in 10yrs if thats still gonna be needed, the way things are moving
