Restore domain

The restore domain command can be used to restore a domain object that is in redemption. A restore request and a restore report command are required. These are extensions to the update domain command.

Restore domain – request

Input data

The update domain command should provide the <rgp:update> extension.

Prerequisites

• Client must be authorized to restore the domain (only the sponsoring registrar is allowed to restore the domain).

• The domain name must exist.

• The domain must be in ‘redemptionPeriod’

• Naming conventions must be followed.

• Required elements must be provided.

• Protected transactions threshold must not be reached.

Transformations

The status ‘redemptionPeriod’ is removed from the domain object. The status ‘pendingRestore’ is added to the domain object.

Restore domain – report

Input data

The update domain command should provide the <rgp:update> extension.

Prerequisites

• Client must be authorized to restore the domain (only the sponsoring registrar is allowed to restore the domain).

• The domain name must exist.

• The domain must be in ‘pendingRestore’.

• Naming conventions must be followed.

• Required elements must be provided.

Transformations

The domain object is restored to its status before it was deleted. In case the domain has nameservers, a DNS update transaction is queued. A billing line is created. If the domain name is past its expiration date, an auto-renew is performed immediately and the domain name enters the auto-renew grace period.
