Domain Limitations and Requirements

Trustee Service

.EU requires a local presence in the European Union in order to register a domain. In most cases a local presence is required for either the owner or the admin-c (Admin-Contact) of that domain. In order to overcome this barrier and make specific TLDs unrestricted HEXONET offers so called Trustee Services for several TLDs which require a local presence, also for EU. Depending on the TLD, the Trustee Service is then either added to the existing contacts, or replaces one or more of the WHOIS contacts. Once replaced the Trustee acts on behalf of the registrant and thereby makes a registration of that specific TLD possible.

In order to enable our trustee service for new .EU domain registrations please use the following parameter with the AddDomain command:

X-EU-ACCEPT-TRUSTEE-TAC = 1 

The following data will be assigned to the domain when the trustee solution is chosen:

Organisation: Proxy Service Ltd
Street: Elyon Triq il-Baltiku
City: St. Julian's
Zip: STJ 188
Country: MT
Phone: +44.2032399878
eMail: [email protected]

Change language of a contact Handle

The language of a contact handle can be changed with the following API command

command=ModifyContact
contact=<CONTACT>
x-eu-lang=<LANGUAGE>

The respective parameter is called X-EU-LANG and the following values are allowed:

cs|da|de|el|en|es|et|fi|fr|hu|it|lt|lv|mt|nl|pl|pt|sk|sl|sv

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)
Trustee	X-EU-ACCEPT-TRUSTEE-TAC = 0 | 1	1 month	OWNERCONTACT
Trustee	X-EU-ACCEPT-TRUSTEE-TAC = 0 | 1	1 month	OWNERCONTACT

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.
