Verifying Your Domain Name By ICANN Verification<\/b><\/h2>\n

What Is ICANN Verification?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Why Do You Need To Verify Your Domain?<\/b><\/h3>\n

One of ICANN\u2019s tasks is to make sure that a domain name is properly filed under a registrant (the domain name owner) and the registrant\u2019s information such as his\/her name, address, and contact information. This identifies the domain name and its ownership accordingly so that whenever someone looks up a domain, it can be directed to its specific owner. We always say that your domain name is your identity online, and that\u2019s why ICANN verification is very important.<\/span><\/p>\n
