How can I remove the suspension on my domain?
- You can remove the suspension by looking for the previous ICCAN email in your mailbox and click on the verification
- If you did not receive the email or can not find the email to verify, you can reactivate your site by doing the following:
- Enter the code under "If you're the site owner, reactivate your site"
- Click "Resend Verification Email"
- You should receive a new email for your domain verification
The suspension of the domain will be removed after the WHOIS information is successfully verified. Please update the WHOIS information with complete and accurate contact details through your domain service provider. Once updated you will recieve a new verification email.
Once the suspension is removed, when will my website come back online?
We estimate it may take 24 to 48 hours for the website to come back online.
