Domain Registration
Domains can be registered in Real-Time with the API AddDomain command.

ownercontact0 = (CONTACT) admincontact0 = (CONTACT) techcontact0 = (CONTACT) billingcontact0 = (CONTACT) nameserver0 = (NAMESERVER) nameserver1 = (NAMESERVER)
OPTIONAL
auth = (TEXT) | (NULL) period = (PERIOD) transferlock = 0 | 1 | (NULL)
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.
Domain transfers are processed in Real-Time.
In case that you our your client does not have access to his mailbox anymore the transfer can be confirmed alternatively via fax. The fax can be downloaded direcly on the NIC.AT´s Website http://www.nic.at/service/faxbestaetigungen/
Please fax this form directly to NIC.AT +43 662 46 69-29
command = TransferDomain domain = (DOMAIN)
OPTIONAL
period = (PERIOD) transferlock = 0 | 1 | (NULL) action = REQUEST | APPROVE | DENY | CANCEL | USERTRANSFER
Delete Domain
Domains can be deleted with the API DeleteDomain command.
There is no Deletion Restorable Period
and no Deletion Hold Period. Deleted domain names will be available for new registrations immediately.
command = DeleteDomain domain = (DOMAIN)
Further information can be found at TLD specific
Restore Domain
Restores are not possible.
command = RestoreDomain domain = (DOMAIN)
OPTIONAL
subuser = (TEXT) renewalmode = (NULL) | (TEXT)
Further information can be found at TLD specific
Ownerchange
All contact information with the exception of registrant Name, Firstname and Organisation can be updated through the ModifyDomain command.
command = ModifyDomain domain = (domain)
REQUIRED
ownercontact0 = (CONTACT)
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)
REQUIRED
ownercontact0 = (CONTACT)
Before a trade gets processed by the registry, a fax form is required by the registry to process a trade. Once confirmed then the trade will be processed. The fax form can be generated with our formgenerator
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
Restore are possible if the domain was deleted explicitly with the DeleteDomain command or set to "AUTODELETE".
Restores are not possible if the domain was set to "AUTOEXPIRE" or was pushed back to the registry with the PushDomain command. In order to get your domain back, please request a transfer via API or Controlpanel. Please note that as soon as you have requested a transfer, NIC.AT will send out a confirmation email to the domain-owner to confirm the transfer.
No special procedures.
