How do I change the contact information for my domain name?

If you moved your domain name from another service to Yahoo! Domains, updating your domain name's contact information can only be done through your domain name registrar.

If you registered your domain name using Yahoo! Domains, the personal information you provided in your order was used to register your domain name. As required by ICANN, the Internet governance organization, this information is publicly available via Whois database interfaces.

You can edit the Whois contact information associated with your domain name by accessing your Domain Control Panel and clicking the "Registration Information" link.

To access the Domain Control Panel:

  1. Sign in to your Business Control Panel. (If you have not yet signed in with your Yahoo! ID and password, you'll be prompted to do so here.)
  2. Once signed in, you will see modules for each of your domain names on the "Manage My Services" page. Select the "Domain Control Panel" link that corresponds to the domain whose record you wish to edit.

To edit your registration information (WHOIS record):

  1. Click the "Registration Information" link.
  2. Click the "Edit button".
  3. Edit the fields for Domain Registrant and Administrative Contact as necessary.
  4. Click "Update".

Changes to your WHOIS record may take up to 24 hours to take effect.

Please note: If you registered your domain name through Yahoo! before January 22, 2001, your domain name registrar is Network Solutions. You can update your contact information by going to the Network Solutions web site.
