#### About OnlineNIC Plug-in

The OnlineNIC plug-in is an XML gateway using the socket connection between HSPcomplete domain objects and OnlineNIC domain registry.

Domain registration

When domain registration is requested for Provider account, an XML form is being sent to OnlineNIC immediately, and the response from OnlineNIC server is received and processed right away.

The ordered domain appears in the domains list in Provider Control Center and as soon as a successful registration response arrives from OnlineNIC, a domain status becomes 'Registered'.

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 OnlineNIC only after the corresponding order is paid.

If there were any errors in request, the domain status becomes 'Error'. In this case, you can turn to the Action Log in Provider Control Center and look for the corresponding record, which will help you to analyze the source of problem.

Note: To register a domain in any of TLDs available at OnlineNIC, the State and administrative, technical, and billing contacts must be specified.

Domain transfer

OnlineNIC service currently supports domain transfer.

When domain transfer is requested for Provider account, an XML form will be sent immediately to OnlineNIC and the OnlineNIC server response will be received and processed right away. When the successful transfer response arrives from OnlineNIC, a domain status becomes 'Transferring'. In case there were any errors in request, a domain status becomes 'Error' and appropriate record in Action Log will help you to analyze the source of problem.

The OnlineNIC plug-in periodically checks the status of a domain being transferred. Thus, when a domain is successfully transferred on OnlineNIC side, HSPcomplete gets this information and domain status becomes 'Registered'. In case any errors occur while domain transferring to OnlineNIC service (e.g., rejected or denied) then HSPcomplete gets this information and domain status becomes 'Error'.

Domain Modification

Name servers and Whois/Contacts synchronization is available with the OnlineNIC plug-in.

Domain Renewal

OnlineNIC supports automated domain registration renewals. Depending on the subscription renewal options, this operation can be performed automatically or manually with appropriate button in Domain subscription properties.
