The customer is aware that the official .HK registry registration policy requires all individuals to provide identification (i.e. passport numbers) to register a .HK domain. In processing .HK domain registrations through HEXONET, the customer explicitly authorizes HEXONET to transmit this information to the registry on the customer's behalf in the fulfillment of .HK registration policy and the registration of domain names.

The customer in submitting a .HK domain registration through HEXONET explicitly agrees to indemnify HEXONET against any and all liability, loss, damages and legal costs in the transmission of identification information, understanding that HEXONET deletes identification information from all its systems immediately after transmission. The customer understands and accepts that the .HK registry may choose to store identification information along with other registration data on their own accord and completely independent from HEXONET.

Registration of a .COM.HK domain is limited for company's based in Hong Kong. The registration have to be validated with the copy of the business certificate. Please send the business certificate to [email protected].


[edit] Ownerchange

An ownerchange has to be requested via TRADE command. After the TRADE has been started, you will find the TNR number within the command response/object-log for this domain. This number should be placed on the form and the form must be submitted to the address below.

[email protected]

A Transfer Application Letter must be printed on the letterhead, signed by the current AND new owner and contain company stamps of the current OR new owner if applicable and the Tracking Number which can be retrieved within the command response or object log of the TRADE command.

There are different types of Transfer Application Letters depending on whether the new owner is a business or an individual.

CASE 1 - New owner is a business: Organization
CASE 2 - New owner is an individual:Individual

Please be aware that with a trade the expiration date will be extended according to the trade period. The trade period for .HK domain is 1 year.

[edit] Request Authcode

The registrar cannot set an authcode, they can only request for the registry to email the authcode to the registrant. The authcode can also be requested via the following registry website.
https://www.hkirc.hk/en/our-services-support/domain-services/change-of-registrar/

[edit] Domain Renewal

Domains can be renewed explicitly with the API RenewDomain command.
Valid Renewal Periods are: 1-3 years / 5 years.

[edit] Notification emails from the .HK Registry

The .HK Registry (HKDNR) sends out email notifications upon the renewal of a .HK domain. Three (3) emails are sent to the registrant of the domain upon renewal:

  • HKDNR will send a reminder to the registrant that the payment for the renewal must be made within seven (7) days before the expiration date of the domain.
  • HKDNR will send a notice to the registrant to acknowledge the receipt of the domain name renewal request (this request is made by our renewal system automatically).
  • HKDNR will send a notice to the registrant to acknowledge the successful renewal.


Please note that you don't need to react on these emails.

Our renewal system renews the domains and charges your account at the correct date.

[edit] Addons

[edit] RegistrarOC

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.

Please do not initiate a restore directly at the registry (e.g. using the registrar webinterface). All restore operations must be performed through our system.
