8. What is a NIC handle? - Top

A NIC handle is a unique identifier assigned to each domain name record, contact record, and network record in the InterNIC domain name database. You can use the same NIC handle as the contact for several domains. This way, if you make a change to the NIC handle (i.e., the email address), all domains using that NIC handle will be updated as well. Thus keeping all your information in the InterNIC database updated.

10. I received an error on the application filed, what do I do? - Top

You will need to correct the error and re-send the application. This should be done by directly replying to the InterNIC email and not by filing an entirely new form. To avoid any delays in approving your domain name, make all corrections on the 'error email' itself sent by InterNIC.
