Whois Verification Pending? Here’s What to Do

If your domain suddenly shows a “Whois Verification Pending” or “Domain Suspended” message, it usually means your contact details have not been verified as required by ICANN.
Since January 2014, all ICANN-accredited registrars must verify the Registrant Whois details (name, email, organization, etc.) when you register or update a domain. If you don’t verify within 15 days, your domain will be suspended – your website and emails will stop working. At Hordanso.net, we simplify this process to avoid unnecessary downtime.
Why Was My Domain Suspended?
You registered a new domain (note: this is not for all domains, always check your email after transfer or registration of domain) but didn’t click the verification link sent to your email.
You updated contact details (name, email, organization) but haven’t confirmed them yet. Your verification email went to spam or was ignored.
When suspended:
Your domain points to a default “suspended” page.
Website, email, and DNS services stop working until verification is completed.
How to Reactivate Your Domain

Look for an email with the subject: “IMMEDIATE VERIFICATION required for [your domain]”.

Wait for reactivation

Didn’t get the email?
Visit the suspension page shown on your domain.
Scroll down and click “Resend Verification Email.”
