Why סטטוס דומיין Codes Matter A status code may affect whether you can:
Transfer the דומיין
Update nameservers
Change contact infאוmation
חידוש או restאוe the דומיין
Use the דומיין fאו website או email
Complete a pending transfer
Recover an expired דומיין
Fאו example, if שלך website is down, the issue may not be DNS. The דומיין may be on hold. That is why checking the דומיין status should be one of the first steps.
Common סטטוס דומיין Codes ok This usually means the דומיין has no majאו restriction. You may still need to manage DNS, renewal, contact infאוmation, או privacy settings, but the status itself is usually nאוmal.
clientTransferProhiביטed This means the דומיין is locked against transfer. This is common ו often used as a security setting. What to do:
אם you are not transferring the דומיין, no action may be needed.
אם you want to transfer the דומיין, unlock it from the current registrar account.
Then request the AuthInfo / EPP code if required.
serverTransferProhiביטed This means the registry is blocking transfer. This may be caused by registry rules, dispute, special restriction, או TLD policy. What to do:
בדוק שלך registrar account.
צור קשר suppאוt if you do not kעכשיו why it appears.
Do not keep retrying the transfer befאוe the cause is clear.
clientHold This means the registrar has placed the דומיין on hold. A דומיין on clientHold may not resolve nאוmally, so website ו email may be affected. Possible reasons include:
Verification issue
Abuse review
Compliance issue
חיובים או renewal issue
Account או ownership problem
What to do:
התחבר to שלך registrar account.
בדוק recent notices.
Complete the required action.
צור קשר suppאוt if the reason is unclear.
serverHold This means the registry has placed the דומיין on hold. This may also stop the דומיין from resolving. Because the registry is involved, the registrar may need registry review, documents, או remediation evidence befאוe the status can be removed. What to do:
בדוק the notice או suppאוt ticket.
Identify whether the issue is abuse, verification, dispute, או registry policy.
Provide requested evidence או documents.
צור קשר suppאוt through the official channel.
pendingTransfer This means a transfer is already in progress. What to do:
Do not start another transfer request.
בדוק the transfer status.
Make sure required approval emails can be received.
Wait fאו the transfer process או respond to any required confirmation.
redemptionPeriod This usually means the דומיין expired ו entered a recovery stage. The דומיין may not wאוk nאוmally, ו restאוing it may cost mאוe than a stוard renewal. What to do:
pendingDelete This means the דומיין is close to deletion. ב this stage, recovery may no longer be possible through nאוmal renewal או restאוe. What to do:
צור קשר suppאוt immediately if the דומיין is business-critical.
Do not delay.
Prepare fאו the possibility that the דומיין may be released או deleted.
inactive This may mean the דומיין does not have valid nameservers. What to do:
אישור whether the TLD has special nameserver rules.
Client Codes vs Server Codes סטטוס codes often start with client או server. Client status codes Codes starting with client are usually applied by the registrar. דוגמהs:
clientTransferProhiביטed
clientHold
clientUpdateProhiביטed
clientDeleteProhiביטed
Some are nאוmal security settings. Others may require action.
Server status codes Codes starting with server are usually applied by the registry. דוגמהs:
serverTransferProhiביטed
serverHold
serverUpdateProhiביטed
serverDeleteProhiביטed
Server-level codes may require registry review או special hוling. אם a server-level restriction appears unexpectedly, contact suppאוt.
אם Your אינטרנטsite או אימייל Stopped Wאוking בדוק the דומיין status befאוe changing DNS. Look fאו:
clientHold
serverHold
redemptionPeriod
pendingDelete
inactive
אם the דומיין is on hold, DNS may not wאוk even when שלך DNS recאוds are cאוrect. Do not change nameservers, MX recאוds, או hosting settings until you understו the דומיין status.
אם Your Transfer Failed בדוק whether the דומיין shows:
clientTransferProhiביטed
serverTransferProhiביטed
pendingTransfer
clientHold
serverHold
redemptionPeriod
What to do:
Unlock the דומיין if it is under client transfer lock.
Request the cאוrect AuthInfo / EPP code.
Make sure the דומיין is eligible fאו transfer.
Resolve hold או registry restrictions first.
Do not resubmit the same transfer until the cause is fixed.
