TLD specific

Registration

You always have to provide the vat identifier of registrant, admin, and technical contact, if the respective contact is used for a .PT domain for the first time. If the registrant contact is identical to the admin contact and technical contact, you only have to provide the vat identifer for the registrant. In case that the respective contact is for a private person the ID-card/Passport number has to be specified.

X-PT-REGISTRANT-VATID = <TEXT> (max. 255 chars) Required if the contact is used for the first time for a .PT domain
X-PT-ADMIN-VATID = <TEXT> (max. 255 chars) Required if the contact is used for the first time for a .PT domain
X-PT-TECH-VATID = <TEXT> (max. 255 chars) Required if the contact is used for the first time for a .PT domain


Example command:

command=AddDomain
domain= <DOMAIN>
...
...
X-PT-REGISTRANT-VATID = <VATNUMBER>
X-PT-ADMIN-VATID = <VATNUMBER>
X-PT-TECH-VATID = <VATNUMBER>

Transfer

The Authorization Code can only be used once and is valid for just 30 days.

To transfer a domain you first have to request the so-called authorization code and also the process number of the domain online in the registries web-interface. The registries website is accessible on http://www.dns.pt, with your login and password. After the login, please be so kind and enter the process file, and use the link “transfer code”.

Deletion

Domains can be deleted with the DeleteDomain command. If you delete a .PT domain it will not be renewed but it will expire at the end of its term.

Ownerchange

You also have to state the VAT identifier of the new registrant:

X-PT-REGISTRANT-VATID = <TEXT> (max. 255 chars) Required

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.


Domain Import

X-PT-ROID = <TEXT> (max. 255 chars) Required - The ROID of the domain

Example command:

command = ImportDomain
domain = <DOMAIN>
x-pt-roid = 12345


the following zones can be managed:

  • PT: no restrictions on domain name
