Domain Registration

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

command = AddDomain
domain  = (DOMAIN)

REQUIRED

ownercontact0 = (CONTACT)
admincontact0 = (CONTACT)
techcontact0 = (CONTACT)
billingcontact0 = (CONTACT)
nameserver0 = (NAMESERVER)
nameserver1 = (NAMESERVER)

OPTIONAL

auth = <TEXT> | <NULL>
transferlock = 0 | 1 | <NULL>
subuser = <TEXT> | <NULL>

Domain Transfer

Transfers of .TM domains are possible. In general, you have 2 possibilities to transfer a .TM domain:

• The admin or billing contact of the respective domain may be changed to the NIC handle of 1api: NIC-1133. Afterwards, a normal transfer without Authorization code, may be initiated using the API or the web interface.

• The other possibility is to inititate a transfer, using the API or the web interface, and use the password of the admin or billing contact of the domain as Authorization code. The password may be obtained by contacting the registry.

In both cases, the transfer should be completed within a few minutes.

command = TransferDomain
domain = (DOMAIN)

REQUIRED

auth = <TEXT> | <NULL> | <NIC-1133>
action = REQUEST | DENY | CANCEL | USERTRANSFER

OPTIONAL

subuser = <TEXT> | <NULL>
period = <PERIOD>
transferlock = 0 | 1 | <NULL>
repository = <NULL> | <TEXT>

In addition to the "transfer in" possibilities, you also have the possibility to "push" a domain to another registrar, by using the PushDomain command, using the NIC handle (e.g. NIC-1234) of the future registrar as parameter "target".
REQUIRED

command = pushdomain
target = <TEXT>

Delete Domain

Domains can be deleted with the API DeleteDomain command.
There is a Deletion Restorable Period of 1 day and a following Deletion Hold Period of 0 days.

command = DeleteDomain
domain = (DOMAIN)

Restore Domain

Restores can be processed in realtime. A restore is possible within 1 day upon deletion. Please use the command RestoreDomain.

command = RestoreDomain
domain = (DOMAIN)

OPTIONAL

renewalmode = <NULL> | <TEXT>
subuser = <TEXT>

Ownerchange

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

There are no specific parameters available

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)
Proxy (WHOISTRUSTEELITE_TM)	X-ACCEPT-WHOISTRUSTEELITE-TAC = 0 | 1	1 month	All Contacts
Proxy (WHOISTRUSTEE_TM)	X-ACCEPT-WHOISTRUSTEE-TAC = 0 | 1	1 month	All Contacts

*1) Parameter to (de)activate: When accessing our backend through the API, you can either activate the addon with X-ACCEPT-WHOISTRUSTEELITE-TAC=1 or deactivate it with
      X-ACCEPT-WHOISTRUSTEELITE-TAC=0

*2) Renewal Term: Is the minimum renewal term of the "Addon Class"

*3) If you are using a "Proxy" Domain Addon normally all contact handles are affected (registrant, admin, tech, and billing contact).
      
      

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.

Please do not initiate a restore directly at the registry (e.g. using the registrar webinterface). All restore operations must be performed through our system.
