Verisign Registry Lock Service
Available for .com, .net, .cc, .name, .コム, .닷컴, .닷넷, and קום. domain names and hosts, Registry Lock can be used in conjunction with your proprietary security measures to provide a greater level of safety for registrants’ domain names and/or hosts.
Verisign Registry Lock Service can help:
- Combat domain name hijacking: Protects domain names against unauthorized and unintended updates, deletions, and transfers.
- Supplement existing protection: Server-level statuses augment protection provided by client-level statuses already in use.
- Secure the communications chain: Enable end-to-end domain name transaction security.
To ease implementation of the Registry Lock Service with the Name Store platform, Verisign provides comprehensive documentation and EPP SDKs.

Other Registrar Resources
Extensible Provisioning Protocol – Software Development Kit
The EPP SDKs, guides and tools support domain name registrars in the process of developing applications for integration with the .com and .net Shared Registry Service, the Name Store platform (.cc, .name, new gTLDs), and for use with other non-Verisign registries that implement to the EPP 1.0 RFCs. Verisign implements to the entire EPP standard and makes an EPP tool available for developers to create and troubleshoot their code design.
Internationalized Domain Names – Software Development Kit
The IDN SDK supports domain registrars in the process of normalizing and encoding international language characters for DNS registration. The library also provides tools for any client or server applications that may need to convert from one encoding to another.
Bulk Transfer After Partial Portfolio Acquisition
Verisign offers registrars a Bulk Transfer After Partial Portfolio Acquisition (BTAPPA) service, enabling the transfer of a partial portfolio of .com, .net, or .name domain names between two ICANN-accredited and qualified registrars. Unlike registrant-initiated transfers, BTAPPA transactions do not adjust the transferred domain names’ expiration dates. Pricing for this service is dependent on the number of domain names being transferred.

Verisign ConsoliDate
By offering a choice of renewal date, registrars help high-volume customers better manage large domain name portfolios and offer flexibility to all registrants. ConsoliDate gives registrants with .com, .net, .cc, and Verisign IDNs the option to select a single renewal date for multiple domain names. Expiration dates can be adjusted by up to 11 months and pricing is based on the number of months the expiration date is adjusted for each domain name. ConsoliDate is easily integrated with your existing Extensible Provisioning Protocol interface using the domain name update function.

Verisign Restore Services
Most registrants forget about their domain name registration until they receive a renewal notice. Sometimes the notice gets lost or misplaced on a long to-do list. When the website disappears or email starts to bounce, the registrar receives a panicked call. Verisign Restore Services works to allow your customers to recover a deleted domain name so they can renew it. Domain names can be restored within 30 days of deletion, during the Redemption Grace Period.
