What types of contacts does a domain name have?
Traditionally, every domain name has four contacts. They are: • The Registrant, who is the legal owner of a domain name. • An Administrative contact, who is typically responsible for the mundane, non-technical management of a domain name. • A Technical contact, who usually makes sure name servers are updated. Often, this is a representative of a hosting company. • A billing contact, who is responsible for renewing the domain. Very often, these contacts are actually the same person. In a large company, they might all be different.
