.CO

.CO is the official country code Top-Level-Domain of Colombia. .CO offers individuals and organizations exciting new options in branding their online presence.

[edit] API

[edit] 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>

[edit] 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.
As soon as a domain transfer has been initiated it can either be approved ("ACK") by Registrar or denied ("NACK") by Registrar. If the registry receives neither a denial ("NACK") nor an approval ("ACK") the transfer will be ACKed after 5 days.

Please note that HEXONET is acting in compliance with ICANN Transfer Guidelines. The respective policies can be viewed under http://www.icann.org/transfers/ :

As soon as you have submitted a transfer request, the HEXONET system start the transfer through the official registry and the losing registrar will receive the transfer request. The losing registrar will then send an email to the domain registrant/administrative contact, allowing them to deny the pending transfer. If there is no response received within 5 days, the transfer will automatically be processed.

Please note that you cannot transfer a .CO domain name in these cases:

  • within the first 60 days after a domain registration
  • within the first 60 days after the transfer of a domain name
command = TransferDomain
domain = (DOMAIN)

REQUIRED

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

OPTIONAL

order = CREATE | REPLACE | UPDATE

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

[edit] Delete Domain

Domains can be deleted with the API DeleteDomain command.
There is a Deletion Restorable Period of 30 days and a following Deletion Hold Period of 5 days.

command = DeleteDomain
domain = (DOMAIN)

[edit] Restore Domain

Restores can be processed in realtime. A restore is possible within 30 days upon deletion. Please use the command RestoreDomain.

command = RestoreDomain
domain = (DOMAIN)

OPTIONAL

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

[edit] Ownerchange

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

[edit] TLD specific

[edit] Domain renewal

Although a .CO domain stays in your account for 44 days after a failed renewal before it gets deleted, the registry deactivates the DNS resolving for the domain during this period.

[edit] Whois Reseller Branding

The .CO registry allows registrars to insert information about their resellers into the .CO WHOIS records, on a per domain basis. For this purpose, they have introduced two new fields within the whois output, the reseller name and homepage URL, e.g.:

  Domain Name:              SOMEDOMAIN.CO
  Domain ID:                D12345-CO
  Registrar-Reseller Name:  Reseller LLC
  Registrar-Reseller URL:   http://www.resellerhomepage.com
  ...

The reseller's name and URL may be supplied as X-WHOIS-RSP and X-WHOIS-URL parameters within the API commands AddDomain and ModifyDomain. Please beware that you should supply the reseller's name with X-WHOIS-RSP if you want to set the reseller's URL with X-WHOIS-URL.

[edit] ServerTransferProhibited

Recently registered domains will have a transfer lock applied by the registry. It will be automatically removed after 60 days.

[edit] Addons

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 (SHIELDWHOIS_ARI_NAMEISP) X-PROXY = 0 | SHIELDWHOIS 1 month All Contacts
Proxy (WHOISTRUSTEELITE_ARI) X-ACCEPT-WHOISTRUSTEELITE-TAC = 0 | 1 1 month All Contacts
Proxy (WHOISTRUSTEE_ARI) 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-PROXY=SHIELDWHOIS or deactivate it with
      X-PROXY=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).
      
      
      



[edit] RegistrarOC

ICANN Whois Data Reminder Policy (WDRP)

At least annually, a registrar must present to the registrant the current Whois information, and remind the registrant that provision of false Whois information can be grounds for cancellation of his domain name registration. Registrants must review their Whois data, and make any corrections.

ICANN Registrar Data Escrow Program (RDE)

Under the data escrow provision of the Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA), all ICANN-accredited registrars must regularly deposit a backup copy of their gTLD registration data with ICANN through ICANN's arrangement with Iron Mountain or they may elect to use a Third Party Provider of RDE services that has been approved by ICANN.

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.
