Domain records

Historical names do not change who owns your domain

A registrar company or brand may appear in WHOIS history, transfer messages or old invoices. The registrant remains the person or organisation recorded as the domain holder; the registrar provides the registration service.

What to do

Use the UKC Client Area for current management

Manage nameservers, renewal and contact details through UKC. If an unexpected registrar name appears in a message, do not disclose credentials; send the message to the Helpdesk so we can confirm it.
