- Select Edit contact details in the menu that appears.
- On the next screen, you will see two sets of details; enter your new email address under Change domain owner details.

Why do I need to do an owner change to update the domain's email address?
Changing the email address will start an owner change procedure for generic top-level domains (.com, .net, .org, etc.). The domain registry ICANN determines these rules, which are similar to owner changes. These regulations must be followed by one.com.
To update the domain email address in this case, you can either use our form or follow the steps in our guide for the owner change process: Change the owner of your web space and domain.
