FAQ

Questions	Answers
The domain has been suspended with an event from DENIC. What are the next steps?	Double check the details in question are correct in the contact associated with the domains. Provide proof via one of two ways: 1. Using the modifyContact API with the x-verification-* extensions. The updates are sent across to DENIC in an hourly basis. 2. Alternatively, use the modifyContact API with the x-verification-* extensions first. Next, clone the contact. Then update the domain with the ModifyDomain API, this is sent to DENIC in real time. It depends on how many requests are in the queue at DENIC’s side before the submission is reviewed. Use the statusDomain API to check back if the verification date has cleared and if the domain status is not longer under serverHold. In addition, DENIC sends a notification when they have verified the x-verification details submitted.
