New updated Web Hosting Control Panel Domain Manager is to be released by the end of the week! Most certainly, the changes that will take effect will make the management of your reseller web hosting customers' domain names much easier and pleasurable, and will provide for them enhanced options for domain status visualization and domain actions.

The part that is to be substantially updated is the display field of the domains' status. Unlike the previous version of the domain manager, this section will now contain up-to-date information about the present status of all domain names, as well as extended administration options. Few new types of domain name status will be added and accordingly displayed when a particular domain name has fallen into one of the following groups:

• Redemption period - a period of up to 30 days after a domain name's expiration. During this period the domain name owner can retrieve the domain name from deletion and renew it against a small redemption fee. Automatic renewal option will be displayed in the Domain Manager in such cases, while the amount of the redemption fee will be added to the renewal price of the domain name.
• Extended redemption period - a period of another 7 - 30 days when the domain name can be retrieved from deletion and renewed. The renewal however cannot be automatic in this period and the domain name owner should contact our supports team with renewal request. Open support ticket option will be displayed.
• Pending delete period - this is rather informative than requiring any action, since during this period the domain name can be neither retrieved, nor renewed. It only shows that the domain has been blocked by its Registry and will be returned in 3 - 5 days back into the public pool of domain names.
• Released from registry - this status shows that the domain name is now publicly available for registration. An option will be provided in the respective Domain Manager field with registration of the domain name preserving its old WHOIS information. Also, in the case that the domain name has been already taken, an option with new domain name registration will be available.

We hope that the new update will please all our web hosting customers and will add to the easy administration of their accounts.

With compliments, from ResellersPanel
