Managing the User Panel

How to set up the system to allow users to reactivate their domains from set redemption period.

Overview

With this setup, a customer is able to order the domain reactivation in the Subscriptions > Reactivation of domains tab in the User Panel. If the customer’s domain is in redemption period and a product is set up for reactivation of that domain, the domain is shown in the Reactivation of domains list.

During provisioning of the reactivation domain product, when the order is processed, the customer domain subscription and provisioning service are restored to normal state. A command to reactivate domain from the set redemption period is sent to registrar/registry.

Before you begin

The Domainreg plug-in as well as the registrar/registry that is being used has to support reactivation of domains from redemption period.
