Domain Registration
Domains can be registered in Real-Time with the API AddDomain command.
command = AddDomain domain = (DOMAIN)
REQUIRED
ownercontact0 = (CONTACT) admincontact0 = (CONTACT) techcontact0 = (CONTACT) billingcontact0 = (CONTACT) nameserver0 = (NAMESERVER) nameserver1 = (NAMESERVER)
OPTIONAL
auth = <TEXT> | <NULL> transferlock = 0 | 1 | <NULL> subuser = <TEXT> | <NULL>
Domain Transfer
The losing registrar has to inititate the transfer to push the domain to the gaining (new) registrar. The gaining registrar has to be aware of the planned domain transfer. Hence the transfer has to be requested with the API TransferDomain command.
command = TransferDomain domain = (DOMAIN)
REQUIRED
action = REQUEST | APPROVE | DENY | CANCEL | USERTRANSFER auth = <TEXT>
OPTIONAL
order = CREATE | REPLACE | UPDATE subuser = <TEXT> | <NULL> period = <PERIOD> transferlock = 0 | 1 | <NULL>
Delete Domain
Domains can be deleted with the API DeleteDomain command.
There is a Deletion Restorable Period of 1 day.
command = DeleteDomain domain = (DOMAIN)
REQUIRED
n/a
Restore Domain
Restores can be processed in realtime. A restore is possible within 1 day upon deletion. Please use the command RestoreDomain.
command = RestoreDomain domain = (DOMAIN)
OPTIONAL
renewalmode = <NULL> | <TEXT> subuser = <TEXT>
Ownerchange
An Ownerchange is free of charge and can be done with the API ModifyDomain command.
Transfer procedure
First of all a transfer should be requested for the respective domain name with the TransferDomain command API .
Then the registrant of the domain name has to contact his current registrar and ask him to change the so-called Registrar-Tag to 1API-DE. As soon as this has been done, the domain name transfer will succeed automatically. Please note that when a .UK domain is transferred successfully, the remaining registration period remains unchanged. Please do not forget to initiate the transfer in our system, otherwise the domain can not be assigned to your account and will not be renewed.
The following overview shows you all available Domain Addons which can be used for this special kind of TLD. It also shows the respective API parameters which are required to activate the Domain Addons:
Addon Class | Parameter to (de)activate *1) | Renewal term *2) | Affected Parameters *3) |
Proxy (WHOISTRUSTEE_UK) | X-ACCEPT-WHOISTRUSTEE-TAC = 0 | 1 | 1 month | All Contacts |
X-ACCEPT-WHOISTRUSTEE-TAC=0
Restore Process
To restore a domain as a RegistrarOC customer, you simply have to execute the RestoreDomain command. HEXONET directly forwards the restore request to the registry, which performs the restore in real-time. As soon as the restore is complete, the domain will get assigned to your account with the original domain data.
