Changes to the Response to the AddDomain API Command
In addition to EXPIRATIONDATE and STATUS the following four properties will get returned in response to a successful AddDomain API command as of 2017-07-10 10:00:00 UTC:
- FINALIZATIONDATE (The date an upcoming renewal will be finalized for a domain set to AUTORENEW)
- ACCOUNTINGDATE (The date our renewal system charges the respective domain's HEXONET user account if a domain is set to AUTORENEW)
- PAIDUNTILDATE (The date until a domain is paid for at HEXONET)
- FAILUREDATE (The date a domain set to AUTOEXPIRE/AUTODELETE will get deleted at the registry)
For our customers using EPP there will be no changes as those response properties will only get returned via the HEXONET API.
Changes for .CH and .LI Domains
The SWITCH registry adjusted some periods related to the domain life cycle. A subscription period will now start on the day of registration, not as
before (on the first day of the next month). Also, SWITCH will introduce a grace period of 10 days after a deletion because of an expiration of a domain.
We will apply these changes and enable the new settings on the July 3, 2017. The finalization and the failure period will be 9 days and the new accounting period will be 0 days.
