Member Identification and Passwords
Each member is provided with a unique key called the Member ID.
A Member ID is generated for the Domain Name owner as well as the administrative, technical and billing contacts. Knowing the Member ID of a domain contact provides the owner a shortcut during the registration process.
The member ID for the owner is created automatically during registration for a Domain Name. After the registration process is complete the owner will receive an email with the member ID along with their registration details.
The Administrative, Technical and Billing contacts that were nominated by the owner are also emailed their member ID's. They may visit the website to change their password if they wish.
If you are the Owner, Administrative, Technical or Billing contact for a Domain Name you will have a member ID as well as a username and password. If you have forgotten your member ID or are not sure if you have one then go to member ID lookup to find out.
Member ID lookup will perform a lookup on all Member ID's if you enter either a last name or a company name. If a match is found, a Member ID, Registrant name and email address will be displayed.
