When you register a domain name, it’s essential that your contact information, particularly your email address, is valid and up-to-date. This is a requirement set by ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) and domain registries to ensure effective communication between domain owners and registrars. Below, we explain why you’re asked to verify your email and how to proceed if you’ve received a notification.
Why Verification Is Necessary
As part of ICANN policies, every domain registration must include accurate and functioning contact details. These details are primarily used to notify domain owners about important updates, such as renewals, transfers, or issues with the domain. Verifying your contact details is critical for the following reasons:
- Ensures Ownership: Verifying your email confirms that you are the rightful owner of the domain, which helps protect your domain from unauthorized changes or transfers.
- Compliance with ICANN Policies: All registrars are required to ensure that domain owners provide valid and accessible contact information.
- Avoid Domain Suspension: If your email address remains unverified, your domain may be temporarily suspended, resulting in service interruptions like website downtime or email delivery issues.
The Email Verification Process
If you are the owner contact of a domain, you may receive an email requesting that you verify your email address. This verification email could come from registrar.eu and be addressed by ispnoc.net, as they are partners working together to manage domain registration services.
The email will include a link to verify your email address. It is essential to complete this process promptly to avoid any disruptions in your domain’s functionality. The email may look like this:
Subject: Your action is required to prevent domain suspension
From: Ispnoc.net (on behalf of Registrar.eu)
Dear domain name owner, *Your action is required to prevent domain suspension* This verification e-mail is triggered because your e-mail address is used in the owner contact of a domain registration and this e-mail address was not verified before or we have received information that this e-mail address might not be in use anymore. According to ICANN and domain registry policies, each domain registration must include a valid and working e-mail address.

If you fail to verify your email after the initial notice, you may receive reminder emails. These reminders will look similar to the original email, urging you to verify your email address to prevent domain suspension.
