Domain Registration
Domains can be registered in Real-Time with the API AddDomain command.
command = AddDomain domain = (DOMAIN)

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.
Domain transfers are processed in Real-Time.
Upon successfully transferring the domain, the registration date will be reset by the registry. The new expiration date will be 1 year in the future.
command = TransferDomain domain = (DOMAIN)
REQUIRED
auth = <TEXT> | <NULL> action = REQUEST | APPROVE | DENY | CANCEL | USERTRANSFER
OPTIONAL
order = CREATE | REPLACE | UPDATE subuser = <TEXT> | <NULL> period = <PERIOD> transferlock = 0 | 1 | <NULL>
Delete Domain
Domains can be deleted with the API DeleteDomain command.
There is a Deletion Restorable Period of 40 days.
command = DeleteDomain domain = (DOMAIN)
REQUIRED
n/a
Restore Domain
Restores can be processed in realtime. A restore is possible within 40 days upon deletion. Please use the command RestoreDomain.
command = RestoreDomain domain = (DOMAIN)
REQUIRED
n/a
OPTIONAL
renewalmode = <NULL> | <TEXT> subuser = <TEXT>
Ownerchange
All contact information with the exception of registrant Name, Firstname and Organisation can be updated through the ModifyDomain command.
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> ownercontact0 = <CONTACT>
As soon as the trade is initiated at the registry the old registrant and the new registrant will receive an email from the registry which has to be approved.
Upon successfully trading the domain, the registration date will be reset by the registry. The new registration date will be 1 year in the future.
REQUIRED
auth = mysecret
Request domain auth
The auth code of a .BE domain must be requested from the registry by using the following command:
command = RequestDomainAuthInfo domain = mydomain.be
The registrant of the domain will receive an e-mail with the auth code.
Restore from quarantine
It is possible to restore .BE domains which had been deleted by another registrar. This so-called "transfer from quarantine" can be manually initiated by our support team for the doubled cost of a normal restore.
Please note, that the transfer from quarantine has to be confirmed by the registrant as with a normal transfer.
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.
