The tryout system

The Tryout System mirrors the Live System and is used to deploy new functionality: When a next release is pending, the Tryout System may contain new features not (yet) available on the Live System.

As a registrar, you may create 2 test accounts. Please contact our support staff to set up your test accounts.

The reduced public website is your starting point.

The available services are:

Service	Host	Port
Registrar Web Interface	https://www.tryout.registry.be	80
EPP interface	epp.tryout.registry.be	33128
DAS	das.tryout.dnsbelgium.be	43
WHOIS	whois.tryout.dnsbelgium.be	4343
NS	ns.tryout.dnsbelgium.be

E-mails sent out from the Tryout System will have from-address no-reply@tryout.dnsbelgium.be. Up to date information on the Tryout System can be found on the public website.

Test data

On the Tryout System, there’s no invoicing data.

Unused contacts are removed faster in the Tryout System:

• all contacts that have never been used and have been in the system for at least one week, will be removed.

• all contacts which have been used in the past but were not linked to an active registration in the last 2 weeks, will also be removed.

If you want to test Registrant verification, you can create a contact with the following data:

	Test contact 1	Test contact 2
Name	Anonymous	Private
Organisation	Anonymous	Private
Street1	Anonymous	Private
Postal code	0000	9999
City	Anonymous	Private
Country code	BE	BE
Phone	+32.0000	+32.9999

The contact is created with status ‘Not verified’. When a domain name is registered with this contact, registrant verification checks are done and both contact and domain name are marked as selected for verification.

If you want to test the whole process of registrant verification, you can ask our Support team to approve a contact.

Test tools

DNS Belgium provides an EPP GUI to test EPP transactions.

Important

Please don’t use real client data in the Tryout System, this might result in unwanted e-mails going to your client which might confuse him/her.
