# Managing Domains

Domains can be registered or transferred both from the Control Center (by Provider or Reseller) and from Store or Control Panel, in accordance with orders placed by customers.

Domain name length allowed for registration via Parallels Business Automation - Standard is from 1 character and up to 63 characters.

The list of domains displays the following:

- ID. A domain numerical identifier assigned automatically in Parallels Business Automation - Standard database.
- Domain. Domain name.
- Account. The name of an account a domain is registered for.
- Added by. The name of a registered person (user) a domain has been registered.
- Registrar. The name of domain registration plug-in a domain has been added into Parallels Business Automation - Standard. Registered Elsewhere means that a Registrar is unknown and thus the automated domain renewal is not possible for a domain.
- Exp. Date. A domain registration expiration date. For domains registered elsewhere the expiration date is unknown and thus stated as Unlimited.
- Status. A domain current status:
  - Registered. A domain is considered as registered and thus can be used for services. This status can be used both for domains with Registrar known and domains registered elsewhere. In the latter case, it is supposed that a domain is really registered since a user that has added a domain has stated this.
  - Unregistered. A domain is not available for service.
