Q: How do I update the Internic domain record by e-mail?
A: The Domain Name Registration Agreement can be submitted by e-mail to modify domain record.

The e-mail message must be sent from the Administrative Contact to change both the Technical Contact and Name Servers information. The Technical Contact only has the authority to change Name Server information, while the Administrative contact has the authority to change anything on the domain record except for Registrant.

If the message to Network Solutions is sent from anyone other than the Administrator or Technical Contact, Network Solutions will send an e-mail message to the Administrator or Technical contact, or both, requesting confirmation. You will need to reply to the message from Network Solutions.

To accomplish the change follow these steps:

1. Look-up your domain record in Network Solutions WHOIS database: http://www.networksolutions.com/makechanges/
Copy and save this record to a text file.

2. Save the Domain Name Registration Agreement form as a text file on you computer.

3. Edit the fields 0a, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 9 to contain correct information from your domain record. Field 0a should read New for new registration, or Modify for modification. Field 3a can not be changed.

4. Create a new e-mail message to hostmaster@networksolutions.com with the Subject line that reads NEW DOMAIN or MODIFY DOMAIN and the domain name. Copy the entire content of the Domain Name Registration Agreement into the body of the message and send the message.

5. Network Solutions will reply with the tracking number. Internic will also ask for confirmation if the messages is sent from the address not listed as Administrative or Technical contact e-mail address.
