Why it is important to keep your Domain Contact Information up to date
Your Domain Contact Information is used to tell governing bodies who owns the domain. If this information is not current and correct you risk the chance of losing your domain. This is not always the same as the information you have on file for billing. The email address you have on in your Domain Contact Information will be the email address that an authorization code is sent to if you ever need to transfer your domain.
