Domain
Status Codes

RFC 2832
This

brief description of each code. The document is based

Registrar Protocol (RRP) Version 1.1.0 (RFC2832).

Protocol at AbleStable® (be aware this is

Domain Name Status
Codes
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 (2003).
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 (2003).
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 (2003).
