Domain Name Registration Default Settings

Default Settings for Customers -

Customers of Web Names Australia under their Default Settings can set the Default Name Servers and the Default Contacts. Thus any Domains Registered by you would have the Default Name Servers and the Default Contacts pre-filled and, you will not have to enter the Name Servers every time you Register a Domain Name. Additionally, if suppose for some Domain Name you do not want to use the Default Contacts / Name Servers, then at the time of Registration you have the option of changing them.

To avail these Default Settings, you need to follow the steps mentioned below -
  1. Login to your Customer Control Panel from http://www.webnamesaustralia.com/customer.
     
  2. In the Control Panel go to Domains -> Domain Registration -> Default Settings.
     
  3. Here you can specify
    • Up to 4 Default Name Servers
       
    • Default Contacts
       
    IMPORTANT

    You can select 4 different types of Contacts from the Contact Type drop-down menu:

    • General Contact - can be used for domain names such as .COM, .NET. ORG, .NAME, .INFO, etc
       
    • COOP Contact - can be used only in case of .COOP domain names
       
    • UK Contact - can be used only in case of .UK domain names
       
    • EU Contact - can be used only in case of .EU domain names

    In case of General Contact and COOP Contact type, Default Contact can be set for Registrant, Admin, Technical and Billing Contacts.

    However, in case of UK Contact and EU Contact type, Default Contact can be set only for Registrant Contact since the System requires only the Registrant Contact details to be provided for .UK and .EU domain names.
     

     
  4. You need to click on the Edit link next to each Default Contact. A new window will open listing all the Contacts created by you for that specific Contact type (Contact/COOP Contact/UK Contact/EU Contact). You may also search for a Contact by providing the Name of the Contact in the textbox and clicking on Search button. The Advance Search option allows you to search for a Contact by Contact Id, Contact Name, Company Name, Contact Status, Contact creation date.

    Now, to select a particular Contact as the Default Contact, click on the Contact Id link for that Contact. The selected Contact will now be displayed as the Default Contact.

    If you wish to add a new Contact, you need to click on the Add New link, provide the Contact details and click on Add button. A new Contact will be created and will be selected as the default Contact automatically. 

It is recommended that you mention at least 2 Name Servers here. Furthermore, in case of registering .US domain names, both Name servers must be registered in the United States.
