CONTROL PANEL

Domain Status :

What does REGISTRAR-LOCK mean ?
If the status of a domain name shows REGISTRAR-LOCK then it means that the domain cannot be transfered. This is done to stop illegal transfers of domains. To enable a transfer from nominate.net you must first unlock your domain via our control panel.

What is REGISTRAR-HOLD ?
If your domain status shows as REGISTRAR-HOLD then your domain name has been suspended by the registrar. More often than not this is because the renewal of the domain name has not been paid. Any domains on REGISTRAR-HOLD will not resolve 24 hours (propagation time) after being placed on hold.

What does ACTIVE mean ?
If your domain shows as being ACTIVE then your domain is as the status suggests. Domain names can only be transfered between registrars when they are ACTIVE.

What is PENDINGTRANSFER ?
If you see your domain status as being PENDINGTRANSFER then this is because your domain is being moved between registrars. This status shouldn't last for long as domains should move relativly quickly.

What does REDEMPTIONPERIOD mean ?
Once a domain enters REDEMPTIONPERIOD it will not resolve and will shortly be deleted. If your domain status is REDEMPTIONPERIOD and it is still required then you should contact your registrar immediately. It is possible to recover domains that are in their REDEMPTIONPERIOD but there is a charge involved and this will vary from registrar to registrar. It is not advised that you simply let your domain delete itself so you can re-register it because it could be potentially re-registered by someone other than yourself maybe solely for the "expired traffic" your domain generates.
