Domain Registration

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

command = AddDomain

Domain Transfer

The transfer has to be initiated by the gaining registrar and can be requested with the API TransferDomain command.
As soon as a domain transfer has been initiated it can either be approved ("ACK") by Registrar or denied ("NACK") by Registrar.

command = TransferDomain
domain = (DOMAIN)

REQUIRED

auth = <TEXT> | <NULL>
action = REQUEST | APPROVE | DENY | CANCEL | USERTRANSFER
domainauth = <TEXT>

OPTIONAL

order = CREATE | REPLACE | UPDATE

nameserver# = <TEXT> | <NULL>
subuser = <TEXT> | <NULL>
period = <PERIOD>
ownercontact0 = <CONTACT> | <NULL>
admincontact0 = <CONTACT> | <NULL>
techcontact0 = <CONTACT> | <NULL>
billingcontact0 = <CONTACT> | <NULL>

There is a Deletion Restorable Period of 5 days and a following Deletion Hold Period of 14 days.

command = DeleteDomain

n/a

OPTIONAL

force = 0 | 1 | <NULL>
renewalmode = <NULL> | <TEXT>
subuser = <TEXT>

Ownerchange

An Ownerchange is free of charge and can be done with the API ModifyDomain command.

Authorization code

There are special requirements regarding the format of the authorization code. Please consider the following restrictions, if you want to assign a new authorization code to a .COM domain:

• Minimum 8 characters
• having at least one (1) numeric,
• one (1) alphabetic, and
• one (1) special character

These syntax rules are legible as of November 14th, 2009. It is possible that updates for domains which still have an "old" AuthCode assigned, will fail with this error message:

You may generate a valid random auth code by adding this parameter to the ModifyDomain command:

GENERATERANDOMAUTH = 1

Example:

 command = ModifyDomain
 domain = domain.com
 generaterandomauth = 1

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.
