WHOIS Update Validation
When updating the WHOIS information for a domain, a validation email will be sent to the domain registrant. If the WHOIS change is not validated within 15 days, the domain will be suspended, and you will receive a case notification from HostGator, similar to domain registrations and transfers.
Please visit the following article for more information on where to view or update your domain's WHOIS information within your Customer Portal.
Once this occurs, you will no longer be able to validate the WHOIS change with the code from the validation email; instead, you will need to respond to the ticket notification. If you attempt to validate the domain order with the validation code after the 15-day time frame, you will receive a warning message instructing you to contact HostGator, as we are required to manually verify all WHOIS updates that were not validated in the 15-day time frame.
