NOTE: Webnames organizes domain names in a hierarchical fashion under a common registrant. Referring to the diagram below, updating any of the information for Registrant 1 will affect domains 1, 2, 3 and 4. This structure allows for quick and consistent management of domain ownership information. If however a single domain (say domain 4) needs to be updated to have separate and unique domain ownership information from that of Registrant 1, a Registrant Transfer must be performed. During a Registrant Transfer, a domain can be moved to another existing registrant in the same account (e.g. Registrant 2) or new registrant in the same account

NOTE: There are two items that can affect the domain ownership information displayed in a WHOIS lookup:

Webnames.ca Privacy

If you have applied Webnames.ca Privacy to the Registrant of a domain, your contact details will be replaced with that of our Privacy Contact along with our contact information.

Registry Privacy

The .CA Registry (along with a growing number of other domain extensions) affords a certain level of privacy to Registrants who have designated themselves to be of a non-commercial or non-organizational nature (i.e. the domain is registered to an individual, and not a company or group). In these cases, the Registry will not display any Registrant information when a WHOIS lookup is done on a related domain.
