[edit] Transfer procedure

When transferring a .CO.ZA domain, the domain registrant may choose to either approve or deny the transfer request. It's important to note that if the transfer request is not approved within 5 days, it will be automatically denied.

• The registry will send an email of approval to the registrant regarding the transfer.
  
• If the registrant denies the transfer, it will fail instantly.
  
• In case no response is received, either to approve or deny, the transfer of the domain will not take place.
  

It is possible to start a transfer after the domain has expired but only in the first five days (Pending Suspension).
If a domain is pending transfer when it expires, the domain transfer will still go through and it will reach the new registrar with the status "expired".

[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 (WHOISTRUSTEE_ZA)	X-ACCEPT-WHOISTRUSTEE-TAC = 0 | 1	1 month	All Contacts

[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.
