Frequently Asked Questions
What are domain status codes?
Domain status codes (EPP status codes) indicate the current state of a domain registration. They show whether a domain has restrictions, is in a grace period, or has operational issues.
How do I check my domain's status?
You can check domain status through a WHOIS lookup or your registrar's control panel. This tool helps you understand what each status means.
What is the difference between client and server status?
Client status codes are set by your registrar. Server status codes are set by the registry and often indicate more serious restrictions or compliance issues.
What should I do if my domain has a critical status?
Critical statuses like serverHold or clientHold prevent your domain from resolving. Contact your registrar immediately to understand and resolve the issue. Use our Registrar Lookup to find your registrar's contact details.
