# Hexonet

https://docs.wisecp.com/de/hexonet

Connect an existing Hexonet account to register, transfer and manage eligible domains through WISECP.

## Access the Screen

Open: **Products → Domains → Domain Name Registrars → All Modules → Hexonet**: `{admin}/module/registrars?module=Hexonet`.

## What Is on the Screen

The screen contains Module Settings, Import and Import Extensions tabs.

### Prepare the Provider Account

Hexonet stopped accepting new customers on 7 August 2023. New resellers are directed to CentralNic; see [account eligibility](https://www.hexonet.support/hc/en-gb/articles/10152615883805-How-can-I-become-a-Hexonet-customer). Confirm your existing account’s platform before selecting a module. Hexonet and CentralNic credentials are not interchangeable by assumption.

Allow HTTPS access to api.ispapi.net; test requests use api-ote.ispapi.net. Prepare separate OT&E credentials and any account IP permissions. PHP cURL is required; PHP intl supports local IDN conversion.

## Settings

- ****Username (Login ID)****: Required; initially empty. Use your Hexonet login ID.
- ****Password****: Required; initially empty. Use the password for the selected environment.
- ****Test Environment (OT&E)****: Disabled by default. Enable for OT&E; it changes the API environment for every operation.
- ****Subuser (optional)****: Optional; initially empty. Use only when acting for an authorized subuser.
- ****HTTP(S) Proxy Server****: Optional; initially empty. Routes API requests through an HTTP(S) proxy. Authorize its outgoing IP where required.
- ****IDN Conversion****: Default: PHP (idn_to_ascii). API (ConvertIDN) uses provider conversion; failed or unavailable PHP conversion also falls back to the API.
- ****Lock Transfers After Registration****: Disabled by default. Applies a transfer lock after new registration.
- ****Show DNSSEC Management****: Enabled in the shipped configuration. Disabling it blocks DS operations; the DNSSEC tab can remain visible.
- ****Default Nameservers****: Four initially empty fields; the first two have required markers. Set valid nameservers before registration.
- ****Automatic Cost Updates****: Disabled by default. Refreshes costs daily and applies the profit rate to selling prices. Only extensions assigned to this provider are updated.
- ****Cost Currency****: Default: US Dollar (USD). Match the account’s price currency; check the selection before saving and importing.

## Tasks

### Connect and Test

1. Enable the test option and enter the test account.
2. Click **Test Connection**. It checks account access with StatusUser. It does not validate prices, DNS zones or a paid registration.
3. Click **Save Changes** and reopen the form. No separate WISECP server record is required.
4. Switch to live credentials after verifying test operations. Keep test extensions unavailable for sale.

### Import Extensions and Prices

In **Import Extensions**, select extensions and a profit rate, then import. Existing provider assignments and prices can change; new extensions are created inactive. The catalog uses account TLD relations and annual prices. Extensions without annual pricing are skipped; transfer cost can fall back to the annual amount. Imported 1–10 year limits and capability flags are generic. Confirm each extension’s actual rules and premium charges before sale.

### Existing Domains

The domain list supports importing existing Hexonet domains into WISECP. First define the extension, then select the domain and its existing customer under **Import**. Import creates an active service record; it does not transfer the domain. Check the customer, annual period, price, dates and nameservers after importing one domain.

### Manage the Service

Registration, incoming transfer, renewal, restore, nameserver changes, transfer locking and date synchronization are implemented. Open the domain under **Orders → Services**. Transfers can remain pending until provider completion; check rejected requests in the provider portal.

**DNS** supports provider-zone records: A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, SRV and CAA. Prepare the zone first. DS records can be listed, added and deleted when enabled. Child nameservers can be added, edited and deleted; deletion removes the whole host.

**WHOIS** supports contact updates and privacy switching where the extension allows them. A rejected registrant name or company change can fall back to a TradeDomain ownership operation. Confirm its fees before saving.

Under **Transfer**, EPP retrieval for .de and .eu can request delivery without displaying a code. Check the registrant’s mailbox. Other extensions read the available auth code.

URL and email forwarding use provider DNS records. Selecting 302 creates masked FRAME forwarding, not a conventional HTTP 302 response. Email forwarding supports catch-all addresses.

## Things to Consider

> **Charges and Operation Results**
> 
> Live registration, transfer, renewal, restore and ownership changes can incur charges. Local suspension or cancellation does not cancel a provider domain or stop its billing.

> **Troubleshooting**
> 
> For access errors, check environment, password, subuser, outgoing IP and proxy. For premium domains, confirm the provider’s required price acceptance before registration. Empty DNS results do not prove a zone exists.

## Required Permissions

Setup requires **Domain Name Registrars** permission. Service operations depend on the corresponding administrator or client permissions and provider account access.
