Special parameters

The contact commands (AddContact, ModifyContact) may contain two additional parameters for registrarOC customers:

x-be-vat = <Belgian VAT ID>
x-be-lang = <country-code (EN, FR or NL)

x-be-vat defines the VAT ID of the contact,
x-be-lang defines the language of the contact,
which also will be displayed in the .BE Whois

Request domain auth

The auth code of a .BE domain must be requested from the registry by using the following command:

command = RequestDomainAuthInfo
domain = mydomain.be

The registrant of the domain will receive an e-mail with the auth code.

Restore from quarantine

It is possible to restore .BE domains which had been deleted by another registrar. This so-called "transfer from quarantine" can be manually initiated by our support team for the doubled cost of a normal restore.

Please note, that the transfer from quarantine has to be confirmed by the registrant as with a normal transfer.

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.
