.JO Domain Requirements & Criteria Jordan FAQ - What types of contacts will I need when I apply for a .JO domain name?
- You will need three (3) contacts. The first is an administrative contact, the second contact is the technical contact, and the third is the billing contact. These may in fact, be the same person.
- What are the descriptions of each of the contacts?
- Administrative Contact:
This is the authorized person able to speak and contract on behalf of the Registrant (the owner). The Administrative Contact could be an employee from the owner organization, or the agent. The Owner and the Administrative Contact person listed in the registration form will receive e-mail notification from NITC when the registration is completed. All non-technical queries regarding the domain name shall be directed to the Administrative Contact.
Once a domain name is successfully registered, the Administrative Contact is allowed to do the following tasks:
* Change DNS info.
* Appoint a new Technical Contact
* Appoint a new Billing Contact
* Change password
* Modify the Administrative Contact record
* Request deletion of a domain name (this has to be supported by an official letter from the owner).
* Handles Payments.
** (For foreign companies registering through an office in Jordan, The Admin Contact should be the office in Jordan).
Technical Contact:
This is the person who maintains the domain name's primary name server, secondary name server, resolver software and the domain name database files. This person keeps the name server running.
The Technical Contact answers all queries regarding technical matters, and interacts with technical people in other domains to solve problems affecting the domain name. Only the owner and the Admin Contact person listed in the Registration form will receive e-mail notification from 101Domain when the registration is completed. Once a domain name is successfully registered, the Technical Contact is allowed to modify Technical Information and DNS data:
* Log in by using username and password
* Enter Modification Form
* Add new DNS record to activate the domain name.
* Modify primary name server record.
* Modify secondary name server record.
* All modifications will be verified by 101Domain.
Billing Contact:
All billing and payment matters shall be the responsibility of the Billing Contact. All invoices will be posted to the Billing Contact's address. The Billing Contact is responsible for modifying the billing information. The Administrative Contact will be notified of all modifications done by the Billing Contact.
