Sinds 2014 stuurt de overkoepelende organisatie ICANN een e-mail naar alle domeinhouders om de whois-gegevens van een domeinnaam te controleren. Op deze manier wordt gecontroleerd of het ingevulde e-mailadres actief is. Deze e-mail wordt dus altijd verzonden naar de domeinhouder en is afkomstig van domains@hix.nl en/of support@domainvalidation.com.
De e-mail heeft als onderwerp ‘Please verify your Email Address for your domain(s) domeinnaam.com’ of ‘Urgent Domain Verification Needed (.. day(s) notice) en ziet er als volgt uit:
Dear registrant, You, or someone on your behalf, has recently made use of your e-mail address in a domain registration, renewal or modification of the following domain(s): domeinnaam.com According to current ICANN policies it is mandatory for all registrars to verify the validity of the email addresses of the Whois owner contact. Your email address to be verified is emailadres@domeinnaam.com. Verify Email Address! Note: You do not need to enter any username or password to accept this link! Independent from this, the domain order has been processed as usual, and the ordered domains are usable immediately, but the email verification has to be done within 14 days. This verification only has to be performed once per email address. Already verified addresses do not need to be verified again.
