ICANN: Reactivating Your Domain

2 min read
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names & Numbers (ICANN) requires all domain owners to confirm their domain contact information.
If you do not confirm your domain contact information within 14 days of purchase, your domain is deactivated, and a parking page replaces your site on your domain.
You can reactivate your domain from your Wix account or the parking page on your domain. 
Important:
Once you confirm your domain contact info, it may take up to 48 hours for your domain to propagate and display your site again. Learn more about domain propagation.

To reactivate your domain from your Wix account:

  1. Go to Domains in your Wix account.
  2. Click Resend Confirmation Email under the relevant domain.
    Note: If you don't see this option, you do not need to confirm your domain's contact email.
