[edit] Domain Registration

Domains can be registered in Real-Time with the API AddDomain command.

ownercontact0 = (CONTACT)
admincontact0 = (CONTACT)
techcontact0 = (CONTACT)

[edit] Domain Transfer

The transfer has to be initiated by the gaining registrar and can be requested with the API TransferDomain command.
A valid Authorization Code must be provided to initiate a transfer successfully. You may obtain the authorization code from the losing registrar.
As soon as a domain transfer has been initiated it can either be approved ("ACK") by Registrar or denied ("NACK") by Registrar.

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>

[edit] Delete Domain

Domains can be deleted with the API DeleteDomain command.
There is no Deletion Restorable Period and no Deletion Hold Period. Deleted domain names will be available for new registrations immediately.

command = DeleteDomain
domain = (DOMAIN)

[edit] Restore Domain

Restores can be processed in realtime. A restore is possible within 0 days upon deletion. Please use the command RestoreDomain.

command = RestoreDomain
domain = (DOMAIN)

OPTIONAL

renewalmode = <NULL> | <TEXT>
subuser = <TEXT>

[edit] Ownerchange

An Ownerchange is free of charge and can be done with the API ModifyDomain command.

[edit] TLD specific

[edit] Registration Restrictions

Registrants of TW Domains must comply to the General Terms and Conditions of .TW Domains:

Supervision and Guidance Regulation for Internet Protocol (IP) Address and Domain Name Registration and Management Services currently at twnic's site.
Guidelines for Administration of Domain Name Registration currently at twnic's site.
Guidelines for Authorisation of Domain Name Registration Services, currently at twnic's site.
TWNIC Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy, currently at twnic's site.
Rules for TWNIC Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy, currently at twnic's site.

[edit] 1 & 2 Character domains

The registry previously allowed 1 & 2-character registrations but not any longer. We can accept transfers of these domains, but they cannot be registered, even if returned as available.

[edit] IDN Character Sets

The registry accepts the following character sets for IDN registrations.

Chinese
Chinese (Traditional)
French
German
Japanese
Korean
Thai

[edit] Transfer

A .TW Domain Transfer must be initiated with an "Authorisation Code", which can be obtained from the current registrar through the owner or Admin-C of the domain.
Ensure that your respective domain does not have a lock-status (REGISTRAR-LOCK or HOLD). This can be seen in the WHOIS. If the domain is locked, then the owner can demand that this be unlocked.
Initiate the transfer on time and not just shortly before the domain expires.
Please ensure that the domain is older than 60 days otherwise the transfer will be denied.
Please note that you need a signed request from the registrant before you initiate the transfer.

The transfer of a .TW domain will usually take 5-7 working days.

[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.

-'''Transfer notes:'''
-*  A .TW Domain Transfer must be initiated with a so-called "Authorisation Code", which can be obtained from the current registrar through the owner or Admin-C of the domain.
-* Please ensure, that you have a correct "Authorisation Code" associated with the domain, before initiating the transfer, otherwise it will fail.
 * Ensure that your respective domain does not have a lock-status (REGISTRAR-LOCK or HOLD). This can be seen in the WHOIS. If the domain is locked, then the owner can demand that this be unlocked.
 * Initiate the transfer on time and not just shortly before the domain expires.
 * Please ensure that the domain is older than 60 days otherwise the transfer will be denied.
 * Please note that you need a signed request from the registrant before you initiate the transfer.
-* Please note that if a .TW domain name is registered with a direct accredited registrar (Domestic), it can only be transferred to a gateway registrar (Foreign) with a special transfer form. If you are trying to transfer such a domain using the normal way, you will get a error message saying "Domain not found". The respective form can be downloaded here: {{Template:Pdf|sampleapplicationletter_tw.pdf| Sample Application Letter}}
