RRP Domain Status Codes

Below are the various Domain Status Codes and a brief description of each Domain Status Code(from RFC2832).

DOMAIN IS 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.

The Domain has a 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. 

The Domain has a 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. 

The Domain has a 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. 

The Domain has a 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 process timeline:

The Domain is in the REDEMPTION PERIOD

A domain name is placed in REDEMPTION PERIOD status when a registrar requests the deletion of a name that is not within the Add Grace Period.

A name that is in REDEMPTION PERIOD status will not be included in the zone file. A registrar can not modify or purge a name in REDEMPTION PERIOD status. The only action a registrar can take on a name in REDEMPTION PERIOD 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 REDEMPTION PERIOD status for a specified number of calendar days.

The current length of this Redemption Period is thirty calendar days.

 

The Domain is in the PENDING DELETE

A domain name is placed in PENDING DELETE status if it has not been restored during the Redemption Period.

A name that is in PENDING DELETE status will not be included in the zone file. All registrar requests to modify or otherwise update a domain in PENDING DELETE status will be rejected. A domain name is purged from the registry database a specified number of calendar days after it is placed in PENDING DELETE status.

The current length of this Pending Delete Period is five calendar days.

 

The Domain is in the PENDING RESTORE

A domain name is placed in PENDING RESTORE status when a registrar requests restoration of a domain that is in REDEMPTION PERIOD status.

A name that is in PENDING RESTORE status will be included in the zone file.

Registrar requests to modify or otherwise update a domain in REDEMPTION PERIOD status will be rejected. A domain name is returned to REDEMPTION PERIOD status a specified number of calendar days after it is placed in PENDING RESTORE 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.
