Domain Create

Client request

Differences from standard EPP

• To submit a domain name registration request, at least domain:registrant and domain:contact type="admin" elements should be present containing contact handles of the holder and administrative contact person for domain name respectively (they are both mandatory for us).

Policy restrictions

• A minimum length of a domain name is 2 characters (so, both “a.lv” and “ā.lv” may not be registered)

• Only legal values for domain:period is 1 year

• Technical contact is mandatory and should be one of the registrar’s hostmasters (also, if __DEFAULT__ is specified as a contact handle or no technical contact has been given, the registrar’s default hostmaster is assigned for the role).

• Although billing contact (domain:contact type="bill") may be given, the only legal value for it is contact handle of the registrar’s primary person (there, too __DEFAULT__ may be used as a contact handle).

• Administrative contact of the domain name is mandatory and should be a private person

• If the holder is a private person, the same contact should be used also for administrative contact (domain:registrant and domain:contact type="admin" elements should contain the same values).

• Up to 5 nameserver hosts may be assigned (given as domain:hostAttr elements). At least two are required for a domain name to be published in the zone.

  Note

  IPv6 is now supported while creating domain.

How registration requests are reviewed?

An automatic process is invoked over a short interval which accepts registration requests if there is only one submitted for a given domain name. If several registration requests are found for a single domain name or when an .id.lv domain name is requested, a human review is carried out in a time of one working day. Registration request is either accepted or rejected and an appropriate EPP service message is queued for the registrar.

Server response

On success, a new domain name registration request is stored and following <domain:info> commands would report domain name as having a pendingCreate status.

Note

domain:name element in server response would contain domain name in its ASCII-encoded (punycode) form (so, when creating “ārečenu.lv”, the server would return it as “xn–reenu-ewa0g.lv”)

Example of error response if another registration request already exists for the same domain name:
