[edit] API

[edit] 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

secdns-ds# = <LONGTEXT> | <NULL>
secdns-key# = <LONGTEXT> | <NULL>
secdns-maxsiglife = <INT>

auth = <TEXT> | <NULL>
host# = <TEXT> | <NULL>
transferlock = 0 | 1 | <NULL>
subuser = <TEXT> | <NULL>

nameserverset = <TEXT> | <NULL>

[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. If the registry receives neither a denial ("NACK") nor an approval ("ACK") the transfer will be ACKed after 5 days.

Please note that HEXONET is acting in compliance with ICANN Transfer Guidelines. The respective policies can be viewed under http://www.icann.org/transfers/ :

As soon as you have submitted a transfer request, the HEXONET system start the transfer through the official registry and the losing registrar will receive the transfer request. The losing registrar will then send an email to the domain registrant/administrative contact, allowing them to deny the pending transfer. If there is no response received within 5 days, the transfer will automatically be processed.

command = TransferDomain
domain = (DOMAIN)

REQUIRED

auth = <TEXT> | <NULL>
action = REQUEST | APPROVE | DENY | CANCEL | USERTRANSFER
auth = <TEXT>

OPTIONAL

emaillanguage = <TEXT>
emailurl = <TEXT>
emaillanguage = <TEXT>
emailtac = <TEXT>
requestentity = <TEXT>
emailsender = <TEXT> | <NULL>
emailsubject = <TEXT> | <NULL>

subuser = <TEXT> | <NULL>
period = <PERIOD>

transferlock = 0 | 1 | <NULL>

[edit] Delete Domain

Domains can be deleted with the API DeleteDomain command.
There is a Deletion Restorable Period of 30 days and a following Deletion Hold Period of 5 days.

command = DeleteDomain
domain = (DOMAIN)

REQUIRED

n/a

OPTIONAL

domainalerttriggercode = <TEXT> | <NULL>
repository = <TEXT> | <NULL>

[edit] Restore Domain

Restores can be processed in realtime. A restore is possible within 30 days upon deletion. Please use the command RestoreDomain.

command = RestoreDomain
domain = (DOMAIN)

REQUIRED

n/a

OPTIONAL

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

[edit] Ownerchange

All contact information with the exception of registrant Name, Firstname and Organisation can be updated through the ModifyDomain command.
In order to change the owner you have to request a trade with the TradeDomain command. This can be done through our web interface or through our API:

command = TradeDomain
domain = <DOMAIN>
ownercontact0 = <CONTACT>

[edit] TLD specific

[edit] .NAME Email Forwardings

You have the choice to register second-level domain names, third-level domains and Email Forwarding (e.g. [email protected]). Email Forwarding is similar to second-level domain names, where they can be registered, modified and transferred.

[edit] .NAME email forwarding-Transfer

It is also possible to transfer a .NAME email forwarding, which is handled like a regular domain transfer:

command = TransferDomain
domain = [email protected]
auth = <text> 

This command would initiate a transfer of the email forwarding [email protected].

[edit] .NAME Email Forwarding-Email-Registration

The following example shows you how to register a .NAME email forwarding while configuring it to forward to a private email address:

command = AddDomain
domain = [email protected]
period = 1
ownercontact0 = <HANDLE>
admincontact0 = <HANDLE>
techcontact0 = <HANDLE>
billingcontact0 = <HANDLE>
x-name-emailforward = [email protected]

IMPORTANT: Please note that the above command ONLY registers [email protected] and does NOT register the domain name doe.name. However, once [email protected] is successfully registered, the second-level domain name, doe.name, or the third-level domain, john.doe.name will no longer be available to the public. Email forwarding is billed annually similar to a second-level domain name. However, please refer to the pricing list as the cost of the registration is different from a second-level .NAME registration If a .NAME domain already exists for more than 7 days, you need to contact the support team to register the respective email address manually.

[edit] Third-level .NAME Registrant Update Restrictions

The registry prevents the replacement of a Registrant Contact ID on certain objects during any of the following grace periods. This rule applies only to 3rd level domains, EmailFowarding, DefensiveRegistration and NameWatch but not to 2nd level domains.

• Add Grace Period (5 Days)
• Explicit Renewal Grace Period (5 Days)
• Transfer Grace Period (5 days)

[edit] Addons

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 (WHOISTRUSTEELITE_VNDS)	X-ACCEPT-WHOISTRUSTEELITE-TAC = 0 | 1	1 month	All Contacts
Proxy (WHOISTRUSTEE_VNDS)	X-ACCEPT-WHOISTRUSTEE-TAC = 0 | 1	1 month	All Contacts

[edit] RegistrarOC

ICANN Whois Data Reminder Policy (WDRP)

At least annually, a registrar must present to the registrant the current Whois information, and remind the registrant that provision of false Whois information can be grounds for cancellation of his domain name registration. Registrants must review their Whois data, and make any corrections.

ICANN Registrar Data Escrow Program (RDE)

Under the data escrow provision of the Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA), all ICANN-accredited registrars must regularly deposit a backup copy of their gTLD registration data with ICANN through ICANN's arrangement with Iron Mountain or they may elect to use a Third Party Provider of RDE services that has been approved by ICANN.

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.
