CentralNic plug-in is a gateway over WWW::CNic - Perl client module, between HSPC domain objects and CentralNic domain registry.
Domain registration
When domain registration requested for Provider account, a signed message to CentralNic is being sent immediately and the response from CentralNic server is received and processed right away.
The ordered domain appears in the domains list In Provider Control Center and when successful registration response arrives from CentralNic the domain status becomes Registered. In case any errors occur in the server response, a domain status becomes Error and you can look for appropriate record in Action Log, which will help you to analyze the source of problem.
For domains which are ordered from your online store (or registration is requested from the Control Center for one of your customer accounts) the registration procedure is almost the same, however the domain registration request will be sent to CentralNic only after the corresponding order is paid.
Note: In order to register a domain at CentralNic, a registrant must specify the country of residence, company name, and e-mail address.
