.AT Renewal/Deletion Policy

.AT Domains

Where can I find an .AT domain's service period?

 It is shown in 'Whois' at Joker.com, and the information is called 'expiration date'.

What happens when an .AT domain is deleted by the end of the current service period?

The domain can be used until the end of the paid service period. Afterwards, it will be automatically locked, rendering it technically inoperative. The domain’s internet services (website, e-mail) also become inoperative as well as the domain’s sub-domains. After this technical lock (presumably 8 weeks) the domain becomes available for a redelegation (can be registered again).

What happens if an .AT domain is deleted explicitly?

The registry, NIC.AT, will immediately lock the domain, thus rendering it technically inoperative. The domain’s internet services (website, e-mail) also become inoperative, as well as the domain’s sub-domains. After this technical lock (presumably 8 weeks) the domain becomes available for a redelegation.

How can an .AT domain be deleted?

If a .AT domain will be deleted because of non-renewal, the deletion happens one (1) day before the end of the regular term. The "withdraw" procedure will not be applied, no additional costs arise.

Explicit deletion becomes effective immediately.
 

Who can delete an .AT domain?

The domain can be cancelled (deleted) only by the domain holder – in writing and signed by the proper person or company. The holder thereby abandons all rights and liabilities regarding the domain. Subsequently, the domain can be registered anew.
Domains that are administered by a nic.at-registrar can also be cancelled directly with the registrar. Please contact your ISP in this case.

.LUXE - How to use with ENS

How to use ENS with .LUXE domains

ENS - the Ethereum Name Service - offers a secure & decentralised way to address resources both on and off the blockchain using simple, human-readable names. You can use your .luxe-domain to act as such a name.

.luxe is a top-level domain that is fully compatible with the Ethereum Name Service (ENS). This means .luxe names can both resolve over the World Wide Web like any traditional domain name but also be securely associated to the Ethereum wallet address of your choice in ENS. Yourname.luxe can be paired with  0x32a4c9fa3d46ab6e87f… — no technical wizardry required. 

To enable ENS for your .luxe domain, please visit 'My Domains', and click on 'Modify' using your selected domain. Then please choose ENS,

and click on "change". Then enter your Ethereum address:

Congratulations! You now have successfully associated your .luxe domain with the Ethereum Name Service.

.CN: How to get registrants of .cn domains verified (RNV)

.CN Domains - Real Name Verification (RNV)

After registration, renewal or transfer of a -cn domain, there are special requirements of the registry CNNIC to meet before the domain will become active.

Update: As of August, 1st 2022 .cn domains can only be renewed when the Registrant Contact ID has passed RNV!

• a .CN registration or transfer will show a “PENDING” status within the first 5-days from registration submission

• a .CN registration or transfer will by-pass the PENDING status only if the REGISTRANT ID (see below) has previously been verified (or whitelisted) by CNNIC
• supporting documents (see below) have to be uploaded here after the registration or transfer, or in case the RNV is requested for existing .cn domains (you have to be logged in to upload the documents)
  
• in the event that the supporting documentation provided does not match the Registrant Name or if no supporting documentation is submitted, the Real Name Verification will FAIL and the domain name will then be deactivated until a correct set of supporting documentation is received and accepted by CNNIC.
• a .cn domain which can not be renewed because of a missing or failed Real Name Verification (RNV) will be deleted

Documentation Requirements

• China-based Company Registrations need to provide the following:
• if the registrant is a business/organization, then the registrant's name and the organization cannot be the same. For this type of registrant, you will need to submit a Business Registration Certificate (BRC). Additionally, the registrant contact also has to provide a personal document/ID.
• China-based Individual Registrations need to provide the following:
• if the registrant is an individual, then the registrant's name and organization name must be the same. For individual registrants, you must submit an ID

• Company Registrations based outside of China need to provide the following:
• a copy of corporate documentation that shows it is a legal entity. (Example: Articles of incorporation, business license) Additionally, the CNNIC audit system does only allow one page to be uploaded. Only the first page of the license, which mentions the official company name has to be provided.
• Individual Registrations based outside of China need to provide the following:
• a copy of government-issued identification for the Registrant must match what is listed in WHOIS (must be a valid passport).

Important:

• All files should be .JPG format no less than 100KB and no more than 1MB in size
• The CNNIC audit system only allows one page to be submitted
• China-based companies should only provide the first page of the BRC
