1. To Modify Contact Details for a Domain Name
2. Modifying CED Contact Details for a .ASIA domain name
2.1. To Modify the CED Contact associated with a .ASIA domain name
Typically, Domain Name Contacts are of the following types:
Registrant Contact
Administrative Contact
Technical Contact
Billing Contact
In the system, Contacts are independent of a domain name. All contact information that you have used for registering any domain name, is maintained separately in a Contact database. This allows you to re-use the contact information for any other domain name registration without having to fill in all the values again. Think of this as linking Contacts from your Contact database to the domain names you register. Whenever you change any contact information in any Contact, it will automatically change that information in every domain name which uses that contact information and reflect the same immediately in the Whois lookup results of your domain name.
