Making sure your domain is verified is a very important step to keep your website running smoothly and connected to the internet. As a top web hosting and domain provider in India, Net2Secure is committed to helping you keep your online presence secure and stable. This guide will walk you through why domain verification is so important and what you should do if your domain gets suspended. This will help make sure your business stays online without any problems.
Why Domain Verification Is So Important
A group called ICANN, which sets the rules for all domain names around the world, requires every domain owner to prove that their contact information is correct. This happens soon after you first register a new domain or if you make any changes to your contact details. This process is a key step to make sure that the information for who owns a domain is always accurate and secure.
If you don't click the special link in the verification email within 15 days of registering your domain, your domain will be temporarily put on hold. When this happens, your website and any email services linked to it will stop working. Your site will not be visible to anyone who tries to visit it.
How to Verify Your Net2Secure Domain
The verification process is very simple and usually takes only a few minutes to complete. Just follow these steps.
Step 1: Look for the Email (Check Your Spam Folder Too)
After you register your domain, Net2Secure will send a verification email to the main email address you provided. The subject of the email will be something like, "Please verify your domain name(s) as soon as possible."
Make sure you look for an email that comes from an official Net2Secure address, like support@net2secure.com or noreply@net2secure.com.
If you don’t see it in your main inbox, be sure to check your spam or junk folder. Sometimes, these important emails can get filtered there by mistake.
Once you find the email, all you have to do is click the special verification link inside. Clicking this link will confirm your contact details and will immediately take away any suspension if there was one. Your domain and website should be back online within minutes. In some cases, it might take up to 48 hours for the changes to fully update and work across the entire internet.
A Quick Tip for Troubleshooting: If the link in the email does not work or takes you to a page with an error, it’s possible that your email program is changing the link. Try opening the email on a different web browser or on a mobile device and then click the link again.
Step 2: If You Can’t Find the Email, Resend It
If you have already checked your inbox and your spam folder and still can’t find the original email, you can easily ask for a new one to be sent.
-
First, log in to your Net2Secure account.
-
Next, go to the Domains section.
-
Select the domain that needs to be verified.
-
You should see a button or option that says "Resend Verification Email." Click it.
-
Now, check your email again for the new message and click the verification link inside.
Step 3: Update Your Contact Information (If Needed)
If you still have not received the email, it could be that the email address you used when you registered the domain is not correct.
-
In your Net2Secure account, go to the Domains section again and select your domain.
-
Find the area called Registration Information.
-
Check that the email address listed there is both correct and one that you can access. This email might be different from the one you use to log in to your account.
-
If the address is wrong, click on the Edit option, put in a new, valid email address, and save your changes.
-
After updating the information, go back and click the "Resend Verification Email" button (from Step 2) to send a new link to the correct email address.
Why Your Domain Might Be Suspended
A domain can be put on hold for a few reasons, but the most common one is not completing the required ICANN verification.
-
You Didn't Verify Your Contact Information: As mentioned above, if you do not click the link in the verification email within 15 days, your domain will be temporarily put on hold.
-
Your Information Is Out of Date: For domains you have owned for a while, ICANN or the domain's registry may sometimes ask you to confirm your contact information. If the emails they send bounce back or can't be delivered, your domain might be flagged and temporarily suspended until you update your details and verify them.
By following these simple steps, you can quickly get your domain back in good standing and ensure your website remains a reliable and professional platform for your business. If you run into any problems, just remember that the Net2Secure support team is always ready to help you.
