Review your registration details: To Find Your Registration Email & Registrar: Go to ICANN Lookup (lookup.icann.org): Visit this site and enter your domain name (e.g., yourdomain.com). Check Registrar Info: In the search results, find the 'Registrar Information' section to see who your registrar is (e.g., GoDaddy, Google Domains). Check Your Email Inbox/Spam: Look for emails from your registrar (e.g., GoDaddy, Wix) or from addresses like no-reply@icann.org or wix-team@registrar.wix.com.  Why This Matters (ICANN Validation): Verification is Key: ICANN requires registrars to verify your contact info (especially email), and you'll get emails asking you to click a link to confirm. Don't Miss Them: If you don't verify, your domain can be suspended, so check the inbox associated with your registration regularly. Best Practice: Use a non-personal email (like admin@yourdomain.com) for registration, not your personal johndoe@gmail.com.  Contact your registrar if you can't find the emails or need to update information, as ICANN doesn't manage your domain's contacts directly.  How to use it: Go to https://lookup.icann.org/. Enter a domain name (e.g., example.com) in the search box. Click search to see the registration details.  Why it's useful: To identify a website's owner or hosting provider. To find your domain's registrar if you forgot who sold it to you. To check if a domain is registered or available.
