ISNIC regularly tests the configuration of domains and nameservers
within the ".is" zone.
If a domain does not meet the requirements, ISNIC automatically
initiates the Misconfigured Domain Parking process.
Please note that the Icelandic language version of these requirements is
authoritative. In case of discrepancies between the English and Icelandic
text, the Icelandic text takes precedence.
Requirements for Contacts
For registration purposes, the following conditions must be met:
The contact information for domains' and nameservers' administrative,
technical, and billing contacts must be true and complete.
Contact's e-mail addresses must be valid, and must be read, as all
communication from ISNIC regarding the registration is via e-mail.
Requirements for Domains
Domains in the ".is" zone must meet the following requirements:
At least two active nameservers must be configured:
If the monthly test reveals that a domain does not comply with
ISNIC's requirements, the following Misconfigured Domain Parking is initiated:
Warning e-mails are sent weekly to the domain's contacts. First only the
zone contact but eventually zone, tech and admin contacts and finally
the registrant is added.
If the problem persists for 8 consecutive weeks, the domain is
suspended: it is marked inactive in the registry and its DNS records
are removed from the ".is" zone file
After the domain has been put on-hold it will be tested daily and activated
if found to comply with the requirements.
After another 30 days
the domain is moved to the ISNIC parking servers (the DNS server
settings for the domain are changed).
If the domain setup is brought into compliance (issues are resolved) before
the domain is transferred to the ISNIC parking servers, the domain will be
re-listed in the ".is" zone automatically and no further action need
be taken.
If the domain setup is brought into compliance (issues are resolved) after
the zone has been moved to ISNIC's parking servers, then one of the
domain's contacts will need to use this website to redelegate the domain to
the correct name servers.
