Understanding .UK domain name Contacts
-
A .UK domain name displays only one Contact (there is no Administrative, Technical and Billing Contact) when performing a Whois lookup:
Registrant Contact - This contact represents the owner of the domain name. -
General Contacts used for other domain name extensions (TLDs) can not be used for a .UK domain name. A .UK domain name has a separate Contacts database.
