Notes on Domain Name Deletion Types

Published: 2023-06-06

【Important Notice】 1. During the period from winning the domain to ownership transfer, for some domains with the status “Waiting for warehousing”, only remark operations are supported. Push, all transactions, transfer out, DNS resolution, and other management functions cannot be used. 2. After delivery of pre-type domains, there is usually a 20-40 day restriction period. During this period, functions such as push, Buy It Now transactions, release auctions, and transfer out cannot be used, and it is also not supported to transfer to other accounts via product transfer. For specific restrictions and removal time, please select 【Show restriction information】 on the domain management list page to view details. 3. Because domains for release auctions are synced to external partner platforms. Since this transaction type requires ensuring that the seller can definitely deliver the domain, the requirements for domains are stricter. Usually, pre-type domains must be traded for 35-45 full days before they can be listed for release auction. The deletion types currently supported by this site are: delete, Xb-pre, west-Pre, Netcn-pre, Netcn-xz, Xw-pre, Gd-pre, Tx-Pre, Xy3-pre, Xy4-pre, ZZY-Pre, En-Pre; please be sure to carefully and thoroughly understand the following introductions of deletion types to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings during the domain pre-order process.
