Tucows/Melbourne IT Email

Change of Registrar Email from Melbourne IT

WebHosting HUB uses Melbourne IT as our domain registrar partner. This means that WebHosting HUB is not the actual registrar, but a reseller for Melbourne IT regarding your domain names. Recently, Melbourne IT's reseller business was acquired by Tucows Inc. Melbourne IT has been sending out an email to all cutomers of resellers.
