To simplify our systems and to enhance the registrar portal, we will start shutting down the feature “Linked WHOIS handles“ starting May 1, 2025.
We need you to take required below actions if you have linked WHOIS handles.
The following actions you can do already today
Domains that have linked WHOIS handles as Registrant should be transferred to registrar management, unless you want to keep the domains as registrant managed, in which case you must unlink the WHOIS handle.
If you also have the billing contact or the name server manager role on your domains, you can choose to become registrar for these in the registrar portal.
If you don’t have the billing contact or name server manager role, you can either
unlink the handle and thereafter transfer it to registrar management. See 1.d. for important information
or become billing contact for your domains and thereafter transfer it to registrar management.
If you want to keep your domains as registrant managed, you must unlink the WHOIS handle used as registrant. See 1.d. for important information.
Note, if this WHOIS handle is used for other roles on your customers domains, you will not be able to manage these in the registrar portal after unlinking the handle. If you still want to manage your customers’ domains in the registrar portal, the handle must be replaced by your REG-handle for the roles on your customer’s domains first.
Domains that have a linked WHOIS handle as Billing contact must be replaced by your REG-handle on all domain names, if you wish to continue to administer these domains in the registrar portal.
The following actions you can do after May 1
Domains that have a linked WHOIS handles used as Proxy must be replaced by your REG-handle on all domain names, if you still wish to manage these domains in the Registrar portal.
Name servers that have a linked WHOIS handles used as Name server manager we will help you to replace with your REG-handle.
Note, any linked WHOIS handles, that still have roles, by September 1, 2025, will be unlinked by Punktum dk.
