The HostMaster plug-in implemented in HSPcomplete is an XML gateway between the HSPcomplete domain objects and GR-Hostmaster domain registry.
Domain registration
When domain registration is requested for Provider account, an XML form is sent to GR-Hostmaster immediately, and the response from GR-Hostmaster server is received and processed right away.
The ordered domain appears in the domains list (Service Director - Domain Manager - Domains) and when successful registration response arrives from GR-Hostmaster, the domain status becomes 'Registering' if registration is pending or 'Registered' if registration was completed.
For domains which are ordered from your online store (or registration is requested from Provider Control Center for one of your customer accounts) the registration procedure is almost the same, however the domain registration request will be sent to GR-Hostmaster only after the corresponding order is paid.
If there were any errors in request, the domain status becomes 'Error'. In this case, you can go to the Action Log and look for the corresponding record in the Action Log, which will help you to analyze the source of problem.
Note: In order to register a domain, GR-Hostmaster needs the external data: the purpose of domain usage and comments.
