I have received confirmation emails. What should I do now?

In the following cases, as the holder or administrative contact of a domain, you will receive emails regarding actions for which a reaction from you may be required:

  • Whois data update
    According to an ICANN requirement, the Admin-C of a gTLD receives an annual information email containing the complete Whois data of the domains they manage. The Admin-C is required to verify the accuracy of the Whois data and adjust it if necessary. If changes are necessary, you can adjust your domain contacts in the hosting.fr client portal. For more information, see the Helpdesk article “I moved - What do I need to change for my domain?”.
  • Expired Registration Recovery Policy (ERRP)
    The domain holder must be informed in a timely manner of the expiration of the paid registration period, according to an ICANN requirement, whether the domain is automatically renewed by the provider or registrar or not. No direct reaction to this email is required, unless your chosen payment method is prepaid. In this case, funds must be added to your client account, otherwise your products cannot be automatically renewed.
  • Owner-C contact verification
    Due to an ICANN requirement, the contact data of the Owner-C (domain holder) must be verified for gTLDs. After the successful registration of a domain, an incoming transfer, or a change of the Owner-C contact’s email address in the partner system, an email containing a verification link is automatically sent to the registered Owner-C contact. The latter must activate the confirmation of their modified contact data via this link.
    Verification via this link must be carried out within 15 days. Within this time window, the domain holder will receive a reminder email containing the verification link every 3 days.
    Important: If the data is not verified within the given time frame, this will result in the deactivation of the affected domain!
  • FOA email / “Form of Authorization”
    During an incoming or outgoing transfer of a gTLD, the Admin-C contact receives an email from the registrar with information about the initiated domain transfer. The transfer can then be confirmed in the client interface and immediately validated or canceled. If the transfer is neither actively confirmed nor canceled, it will be automatically carried out after five days.
    For more information on canceling or confirming an initiated transfer, see the Helpdesk article “ACK/NACK, what does it mean?”.
