New sales channels with Whois Pro for .DE domains

The new Whois info page "Whois Pro" offers AutoDNS users the possibility to use the Whois for their own provider branding through individual settings (URL, logo). This has become possible thanks to new DENIC Whois specifications.
The advantage: In addition to a transparent publication of your contact data, the Whois Pro site offers additional free marketing channels.

You can find further information about Whois Pro in our Help Center: https://help.internetx.com/x/zJCUAQ

DENIC: Changed Whois requirements

The specification of four contacts (OwnerC, AdminC, TechC, ZoneC) for the registration of .DE domains has been changed with the recent introduction of the RRI 3.0 protocol:
 
- From now on only the specification of the OwnerC contact is required. AdminC, TechC and ZoneC can still be submitted to us as usual. An adaptation of your existing API implementation is therefore not necessary.
- It is no longer necessary to provide a German postal address, but must be able to provide one upon DENIC's request.
- There is a new "General Request Contact" and an "Abuse Contact".

For these contacts, we now offer you the customizable Whois Pro Service.

Deletion of domain contacts in AutoDNS

Starting August 2018, we will automatically delete all domain contacts that have not been actively used or updated in the last 180 days, in order to clean up AutoDNS from unused person-related records.
 
Activate "Purge Notification"
In order to keep you updated about the deletions, we have implemented the option "Purge Notification" in AutoDNS. You can activate that option in your AutoDNS user profile under "API Settings". This way you will be informed by email, push or poll notification about the deletions of unused objects. The notifications contain information such as [The contact has been deleted because it is not in use.].
 
Important: If "Purge Notification" has not been activated, there will be no feedback about the deletion.
