We are in a period when almost all of us have at least one domain name. Some of us use this domain name for a project, some of us use it for personal purposes. A momentary interruption, especially in domain names used in large projects, can also cause you great damage. If there is a problem based on your domain name, you can detect this situation by looking at its status.
It is the name given to an information code, also known as EPP code in some sources. In the registration of a domain name, there is at least 1 status code until the dropping process. This code shows its current status, that is, its status. By examining this code, you can have information about the configurations applied on your domain name.
There are two different categories of status codes. The first one is server code and the second one is customer code. Server codes are determined by the registering host system, while the customer code is determined by the registering company. Server codes have priority over customer codes. Because of this situation, it is useful to carefully examine whether it is a server code or a customer code first.
These are the codes set by the logger system.
addPeriod |
Provided after the first registration of a domain name. If the registrar deletes the domain name during this time, the registry may provide a refund or credit to the registrar for the cost of registration. |
autoRenewPeriod |
This code indicates a grace period, provided after a domain name registration expires and is automatically extended (renewed) by the registrar. If the registrar system deletes the domain name during this period, it provides a credit to the registrar for the cost of the registration renewal. |
inactive |
This status code indicates that your nameservers are not associated with your domain name. Your domain name is not activated in DNS and will not be resolved. |
ok |
This code is the standard status for a domain name, meaning it has no pending transactions or prohibitions. |
pendingCreate |
This status code indicates that the request to create your domain name has been received and is being processed. |
pendingDelete |
This status code may be confused with redemptionPeriod or pendingRestore. In such a case, depending on the status set on the domain name (i.e., redemptionPeriod or pendingRestore), the corresponding description described above applies. If this status is not combined with the redemptionPeriod or pendingRestore status, the pendingDelete status code indicates that your domain name is in redemption status for 15 days and you have not restored it within the 15-day period. Your domain will remain in this state for a few days, after which your domain will be purged and completely deleted from the registration database. Once the deletion has occurred, the domain will be available for re-registration in accordance with the registry's policies. |
pendingRenew |
This status code indicates that a request to renew your domain has been received and is being processed. |
pendingRestore |
This status code indicates that a domain that has not received payment has requested to be reactivated. The registry will hold this status code while the registry waits for the registrar to provide the necessary restoration documentation. If your registrar fails to provide documentation to the registrar within a certain period of time to validate the restoration request, the domain will revert to the redemption state, i.e. the redemptionPeriod state. |
pendingTransfer |
This status code indicates that a request to transfer your domain to a new registrar has been received and is being processed. |
pendingUpdate |
This status code indicates that a request to update your domain has been received and is being processed. |
redemptionPeriod |
This status code indicates that your registrar has requested to delete your domain from the registry. Your domain name will be kept in this status for 30 days. After five calendar days following expiration, your domain name will be deleted from the registry database and will become available for registration. |
renewPeriod |
This grace period is provided after a domain name registration period is explicitly extended (renewed) by the registrar. If the registrar deletes the domain name during this period, it provides a credit to the registrar for the cost of the registration renewal. |
serverDeleteProhibited |
This status code prevents your field from being deleted. It is a status that is usually in effect during legal disputes, at your request, or a redemptionPeriod status. |
serverHold |
This status code is set by the Registrar of your domain. It indicates that your domain is not active in DNS configurations. |
serverRenewProhibited |
This status code indicates that the Registrar of your domain name will not allow the domain name to be renewed. It is a rare occurrence that usually comes into effect during legal disputes or when your domain name is subject to deletion. |
serverTransferProhibited |
This status code prevents your domain name from being transferred from your current registrar to another. It usually happens during legal or other disputes, at your request, or while a redemptionPeriod status is in effect. |
serverUpdateProhibited |
This status locks the code to prevent your domain from being updated. It is a status that is usually in effect during legal disputes, at your request, or a redemptionPeriod status is in effect. |
transferPeriod
|
This code is provided after the successful transfer of a domain name from one registrar to another. If the new registrar deletes the domain name during this period, the registration process provides a credit to the registrar for the cost of registration. |
The domain name is determined by your registrar.
clientDeleteProhibited |
This status code notifies your domain's registry to reject requests to delete your domain name. |
clientHold |
This status code reports that your domain is not activating your domain in DNS and, as a result, it will not be resolved. It is a rare condition, usually accepted during legal disputes, without payment, or when your domain is subject to deletion. |
clientRenewProhibited |
This status code notifies your domain registry to deny requests to renew your domain name. It's a rare status that usually comes into effect during legal disputes or when your domain name is subject to deletion. |
clientTransferProhibited |
This status code instructs you to refuse requests to transfer your domain name from your current registrar to another. |
clientUpdateProhibited |
This status code notifies your domain's registry to reject requests to update your domain. |
