Special deletion information

You can choose, if the registry should delete the domain immediately or at the end of its term with the following extension:

X-AT-SCHEDULEDATE = expiration | now 

Optional:
Indicates, if the registry should delete the domain at the end of its term ("expiration") or immediately ("now"). If the parameter is not given the domain will be deleted at the end of its term.

If you do not have the consent of the registrant you should set the domain renewal mode to AUTOEXPIRE. This will cause a so-called BILLWITHDRAW at the registry at the end of the term of the domain. A BILLWITHDRAW means that the registrant will become the new billing contact of the domain and will be charged directly from the registry for the renewal of his domain.
As the .AT registry handles domain-deletions very strict, we highly recommend to save a written confirmation of your client for domain-transactions. In case that you have to delete domains immediately, e.g. in case of fraud, the only way is to delete the domain with the API DeleteDomain command and setting the parameter X-AT-SCHEDULEDATE to "now".

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.
