EPP Status Codes are used by the Domain Registry to signify the status of a particular domain name existing within the registry. All existing domains will have a minimum of one EPP status code assigned. However, it is very common for a domain name to have multiple simultaneous EPP status codes. Here is a list EPP status codes and what they mean.

ClientDeleteProhibited

A "ClientDeleteProhibited" status code is assigned to a domain name by the Registrar when the domain name is locked. The "ClientDeleteProhibited" status code tells the Registry to reject requests to delete the domain, except in cases where the domain has expired. Domains with the EPP status code “ClientDeleteProhibited” are included in the zone files and can be updated, transferred, and renewed.

ClientHold

A "ClientHold" status code is assigned to a domain name by the Registrar, most commonly for non-payment. Domains with the EPP status code “ClientHold” are not included in the zone files, but can still be updated, transferred, deleted, or renewed.

ClientRenewProhibited

A ClientRenewProhibited status code is assigned to a domain name by the Registrar. The ClientRenewProhibited status code means that a domain name cannot be explicitly renewed. Domains with the EPP status code “ClientRenewProhibited” are included in the zone files and can be updated, transferred, or deleted.

ClientTransferProhibited

A ClientTransferProhibited status code is assigned to a domain name by the Registrar when the domain name is locked. The ClientTransferProhibited status code tells the Registry to reject requests to transfer the domain from one Registrar to another. Domains with the EPP status code “ClientTransferProhibited” are included in the zone files and can be updated, deleted, and renewed.

Client-Xfer-Prohibited

A "Client-Xfer-Prohibited" status code is assigned to a domain name by the Registrar when the domain name is locked. The "Client-Xfer-Prohibited" status code tells the Registry to reject requests to transfer the domain from one Registrar to another. Domains with the EPP status code “Client-Xfer-Prohibited” are included in the zone files and can be updated, deleted, and renewed.

ClientUpdateProhibited

A "ClientUpdateProhibited" status code is assigned to a domain name by the Registrar when the domain name is locked. The "ClientUpdateProhibited" status code tells the Registry to reject requests by the Registrar to update name servers, update Auth codes, or sync the domain. The status code cannot be updated until the Registrar removes the "ClientUpdateProhibited" status code. Domains with the EPP status code “ClientUpdateProhibited” are included in the zone files and can be transferred, deleted, and renewed, once this status is removed.

Hold / ServerHold

A "Hold" / "ServerHold" status code is assigned to a domain name by the Registry. The "Hold" / "ServerHold" status code means that a domain name has been deleted from the DNS, most commonly for a financial, legal, or operational reason. Domains with the EPP status code “Hold" / "ServerHold” are not included in the zone files.

OK

An "OK" EPP status is assigned to a domain name when it is initially registered. Domains with an "OK" status code are included in the appropriate zone files so long as there are name servers associated with the domain name.  Domains with the EPP status code “OK” can be updated, transferred, or renewed by the Registrar.

PendingDelete

A PendingDelete status code is assigned to a domain name by the Registry after the domain name has had a RedemptionPeriod status code for a period of 30 days. The PendingDelete status code lasts for a period of 5 days and it cannot be restored. Domains with the EPP status code “PendingDelete” are not included in the zone files.

PendingRestore

A PendingRestore status code is assigned to a domain name by the Registry if the Registrar has issued the EPP Restore command when the domain was previously assigned the RedemptionPeriod status code. A domain will have the PendingRestore status code for a period of 7 days, during which the Registrar must send a Restore report to the Registry through the Registrar Tool or the EPP Protocol. If the Registry receives the submitted Restore report within the 7-day period, the domain name will be moved to an “OK” status. If the Registry does not receive the Restore report within the 7-day period, the domain is moved back to a RedemptionPeriod status code and will remain there for 30 days. Domains with the EPP status code “PendingRestore” are included in the zone files.

RedemptionPeriod

A RedemptionPeriod status code is assigned to a domain name by the Registry if the domain is deleted 5 days after the Create Grace Period. When a domain name has a RedemptionPeriod status code, it will remain in this status for a period of 30 days, unless the Registrar issues a Restore command. Any other EPP commands issued by a Registrar, other than the Restore command, will fail when a domain has a RedemptionPeriod status code assigned to it. Domains with the EPP status code “RedemptionPeriod” are not included in the zone files.

autoRenewPeriod

An "autoRenewPeriod" status code is assigned to a domain name by the Registry when the domain is automatically renewed by the Registry on its expiration date.  This occurs when the registry has not received an explicit renewal or delete command by the Registrar prior to expiration.  A domain with an "autoRenewPeriod" status code can be deleted by the Registrar within 45 days for a credit of the renewal fee.
