Transfer
Transfers of .AC domains are possible. In general, you have 2 possibilities to transfer a .AC domain:
- The admin or billing contact of the respective domain may be changed to the NIC handle of 1api: NIC-1132. 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.
In addition to the "transfer in" option, 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".
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.
