Manage domain contacts in one overview
Every domain name comes with contact details: who the holder is and who the point of contact is. In My WebOké you manage those details in one place and decide for yourself which contact belongs to which domain.
Creating and managing contacts
- Log in to My WebOké.
- Go to Contacts (via My Administration, tab Contacts).
- Here you can create new contacts with New contact and edit existing holder and contact details. For each contact, you can see under Linked domains which domains it is attached to.
Linking a contact to domains
- Click the Link to domains button next to the contact and choose the domains this contact should apply to.
- Prefer working from the domain? You can do that too: go to My Domains, open the Contacts tab and select your domain at the top. On the domain page itself, you'll find the holder in the Domain contacts card.
If you link a different holder to a domain, or change the holder's details, this is applied at the registry immediately. In doing so, you transfer the domain name to that person or organisation. Only do this if that is really what you intend.
Good to know
- If you edit a contact that is the holder of one or more domains, My WebOké will ask whether you want to apply the change at the registrars right away. The registry is the official issuer of the extension (such as SIDN for .nl domains). This way, the WHOIS details of your domains are always correct.
- There is also a synchronisation feature that retrieves the contact details from the registrar. Handy if you want to check whether everything matches.
- Up-to-date contact details are important: for many extensions the holder is required to keep them accurate and to confirm their email address, and during a transfer or renewal you want to be easy to reach.
