About . domain
You can register a . domain through our API or control panel. This registration is real time and requires the following information:
- • the domain’s contact handles (owner, administrative, etc.)
- • two or more nameservers or a nameserver group
Note that, as for ICANN’s contact verification requirements, we are obliged to send an e-mail to the domain owner if his e-mail address was not verified before. Failure to respond to this e-mail may lead to suspension of any gTLD domain name with this same e-mail address in the owner contact.

A change of ownership for a domain name (Trade) can be done by replacing the owner contact in the control panel. After saving the changes the change is processed realtime. Both the previous and the new registrant will receive an e-mail. This is a notification only, no action is required.
A change of contact details or nameservers can be done by updating the associated handles or nameservers in the control panel. After saving the changes, the domain name will be updated in realtime.
If as part of the update the domain owner’s e-mail address changes, we’re obliged to start a contact verification process if this new e-mail address was not verified before. Failure to respond to this e-mail may lead to suspension of any gTLD domain name with this same e-mail address in the owner contact.

Explicit delete
A delete of a domain is realtime. After a delete, the domain will be put in hard quarantine status (also called redemption period). Below you can see how long this quarantine period lasts. During this period the domain can be reactivated. For 5 days after the quarantine period it gets status pendingDelete and will be deleted after those 5 days.
Expiration
If a domain expires (it is not renewed in time), Openprovider will not immediately delete the domain at the registry. Instead, it will be put in soft quarantine first.
If a soft quarantine period applies, restore is possible for the duration of the soft quarantine period plus the duration of the ‘normal’ quarantine period. A restore during the soft quarantine period is without additional costs (only the renewal is charged), while a restore during the normal quarantine period comes with additional costs. Soft quarantine only applies to expired domains; it never applies after sending a ‘delete’ command to Openprovider.
Restore/reactivation
A domain name can be restored during its hard quarantine period (also called redemptionPeriod). Below you can find how long a domain stays in its quarantine period after the domain name has been deleted or expired.
