TLD specific

Restore Domain

Even after the domain restorable period has ended, the registry holds the domain for the registrant for a period of time. Please contact Hexonet Support if the domain whois shows that the domain is reserved and you are still interested in restoring the domain.

RegistrarOC

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.
