Hello Mod's & Mem's
I was asked about this yesterday, and the day before, and lo... the day before that as well.
"What does that stuff next to our domain names mean?
I remember starting out and having no clue what all this meant,
and really wishing I did. (it's still pretty confusing)
So here's a little something courtesy of Softnik.
RRP Domain Status Codes
Below are the various domain status codes and a brief description of each (from RFC2832).
You can use a software like Watch My Domains Professional or Domain Punch
Professional to automatically obtain the status codes for multiple domain names.
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.
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
Hope this helps
