here is an explanation of the various contacts you need to enter when registering a domain.

Administrative contact

A registrant usually designates an administrative contact to manage the domain name. In practice, the administrative contact usually has the most immediate power over a domain. Management functions delegated to the administrative contacts may include (for example):

* the obligation to conform to the requirements of the domain registry in order to retain the right to use a domain name
* authorisation to update the physical address, e-mail address and telephone number etc in WHOIS


Technical contact

A technical contact manages the name servers of a domain name. The many functions of a technical contact include:

* making sure the configurations of the domain name conforms to the requirements of the domain registry
* updating the domain zone
* providing the 24x7 functionality of the name servers (that leads to the accessibility of the domain name)


Billing contact

Self-explanatory, the party whom a NIC invoices.

Thanks for that, I always just write the same details in for all of them, perhaps i should write something different for them all?

i put the same too.
maybe a big company will put various people in but the majority of us take care of all aspects ourselves.
