#### About CNNIC Plug-in

The CNNIC plug-in is an XML gateway using the SSL transport between HSPcomplete domain objects and CNNIC domain registry. The transport is written in Java, so for the plug-in to work the JRE package must be installed.

Domain registration

When domain registration is requested for Provider account, an XML form is sent to CNNIC immediately, and the response from CNNIC server is received and processed right away. The ordered domain appears in the domains list in Provider Control Center and as soon as a successful registration response arrives from CNNIC, a domain status becomes 'Registered'.

For domains which are ordered from your online store (or registration is requested from Provider Control Center for one of your customer accounts) the registration procedure is almost the same, however the domain registration request will be sent to CNNIC only after the corresponding order is paid.

If there were any errors in request, the domain status becomes 'Error'. In this case, you can turn to the Action Log in Provider Control Center and look for the corresponding record, which will help you to analyze the source of problem.

The CNNIC plug-in periodically checks the status of domains being registered. Thus, when a domain is successfully registered on the CNNIC side, HSPcomplete gets this information and domain status becomes 'Registered'. In case any errors occur while domain registering to CNNIC service (e.g., rejected or denied) then HSPcomplete gets this information and domain status becomes 'Error'.

Note: To register a domain in any of TLDs available at CNNIC, the administrative, technical, and billing phone numbers as well as fax number must be specified together with the other registrant information.

Domain transfer

The CNNIC service currently supports domain transfer.

When domain transfer is requested for Provider account, an XML form is sent immediately to CNNIC and the CNNIC server response will be received and processed right away. When the successful transfer response arrives from CNNIC, a domain status becomes 'Transferring'. In case there were any errors in request, a domain status becomes 'Error' and appropriate record in the HSPcomplete Action Log will help you to analyze the source of problem.

The CNNIC plug-in periodically checks the status of a domain being transferred. Thus, when a domain is successfully transferred on CNNIC side, HSPcomplete gets this information and domain status becomes 'Registered'. In case any errors occur while domain transferring to CNNIC service (e.g., rejected or denied) then HSPcomplete gets this information and domain status becomes 'Error'.

Domain Modification

Whois/Contacts modification currently is not available with CNNIC plug-in.

Domain Renewal

CNNIC supports automated domain registration renewals. Depending on the subscription renewal options, this operation can be performed automatically or manually with appropriate button in Domain subscription properties.
