#### About NIC.at Plug-in

The NIC.at plug-in is an e-mail gateway using the SMTP/POP3 transport between HSPcomplete domain objects and NIC.at domain registry.

Domain registration

When domain registration is requested for Provider account, an XML form is sent to NIC.at immediately, but the response from NIC.at server will be received by e-mail and processed after a while.

The ordered domain appears in the domains list in Provider Control Center and as soon as a successful registration response arrives from NIC.at, 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 NIC.at 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.

Domain transfer

NIC.at service currently supports domain transfer.

When domain transfer is requested for Provider account, an XML form will be sent immediately to NIC.at, but the response from NIC.at server will received by e-mail and processed after a while. When the successful transfer response arrives from NIC.at, 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 NIC.at plug-in periodically checks the status of a domain being transferred. Thus, when a domain is successfully transferred on NIC.at side, HSPcomplete gets this information and domain status becomes 'Registered'. In case any errors occur while domain transferring to NIC.at service (e.g., rejected or denied) then HSPcomplete gets this information and domain status becomes 'Error'.

Domain Modification

Name servers synchronization is available now with the NIC.at plug-in. Whois/Contacts modification with NIC.at plug-in is available as well.

Domain Renewal

Automated domain renewal is not supported by NIC.at service.
