RRP Domain Status Codes
The various domain status codes and a brief description of each (from RFC2832): |
ACTIVE
This is the default status of a domain at registration time. The registry sets the domain to this status. The domain is
modifiable by the registrar. The domain can be renewed. The domain SHALL be included in the zone file when in this status if the domain has
at least one associated name server. |
REGISTRY-LOCK
The registry sets the domain to this status. The domain cannot be modified or deleted by the registrar. The registry MUST remove the
REGISTRY-LOCK status for the registrar to modify the domain. The domain can be renewed. The domain SHALL be included in the zone file when
in this status if the domain has at least one associated name server. |
REGISTRY-HOLD
The registry sets the domain to this status. The domain cannot be modified or deleted by the registrar. The registry MUST remove the
REGISTRY-HOLD status for the registrar to modify the domain. The domain can be renewed. The domain SHALL NOT be included in the zone file
when in this status. |
REGISTRAR-HOLD
The registrar of the domain sets the domain to this status. The domain can not be modified or deleted when in this status. The registrar
MUST remove REGISTRAR-HOLD status to modify the domain. The domain can be renewed. The domain SHALL NOT be included in the zone file when in
this status. |
REGISTRAR-LOCK
The registrar of the domain sets the domain to this status. The domain cannot be modified or deleted when in this status. The registrar MUST
remove REGISTRAR-LOCK status to modify the domain. The domain can be renewed. The domain SHALL be included in the zone file when in this
status. |
REGISTRY-DELETE-NOTIFY
A domain is set on this status if it has expired and has child name servers that are hosting other domains. Only the registry may set this
status. The domain SHALL be included in the zone file when in this status if the domain has at least one associated name server. |
| The domain deletion progresses through the following statuses: |
REDEMPTIONPERIOD
A domain name is placed in REDEMPTIONPERIOD status when a registrar requests the deletion of a name that is not within the Add Grace Period.
A name that is in REDEMPTIONPERIOD status will not be included in the zone file. A registrar can not modify or purge a name in
REDEMPTIONPERIOD status.
The only action a registrar can take on a name in REDEMPTIONPERIOD is to request that it be restored. Any other registrar requests to
modify or otherwise update the domain will be rejected. Unless restored, the domain will be held in REDEMPTIONPERIOD status for a specified
number of calendar days. The current length of this Redemption Period is thirty calendar days. |
PENDINGDELETE
A domain name is placed in PENDINGDELETE status if it has not been restored during the Redemption Period. A name that is in PENDINGDELETE
status will not be included in the zone file. All registrar requests to modify or otherwise update a domain in PENDINGDELETE status will be
rejected. A domain name is purged from the registry database a specified number of calendar days after it is placed in PENDINGDELETE status.
The current length of this Pending Delete Period is five calendar days. |
PENDINGRESTORE
A domain name is placed in PENDINGRESTORE status when a registrar requests restoration of a domain that is in REDEMPTIONPERIOD status. A
name that is in PENDINGRESTORE status will be included in the zone file. Registrar requests to modify or otherwise update a domain in
REDEMPTIONPERIOD status will be rejected. A domain name is returned to REDEMPTIONPERIOD status a specified number of calendar days after it
is placed in PENDINGRESTORE unless the registrar submits a complete Registrar Restore Report to the Registry Operator. The current length of
this Pending Restore Period is seven calendar days. |
