.co Status
Online
Orders:
As of 2:00PM EDT (18:00 UTC), orders placed via API, Control Panel (RWI), and Storefront are being processed in real-time and can be managed like any other TLD.
"Dead Zone" Orders:
Orders placed in the dead zone between 11:00AM EDT (15:00 UTC) (when pre-orders closed) and 2:00PM EDT (18:00 UTC) (when the registry opened) are being held in "Pending" state. If you placed orders during this time you will need to process these requests now (via RWI or API).
"Pre-Order" Orders:
All Pre-Order Registrations were processed within the first 10 minutes of the .CO Registry being open.
We're now starting the process of:
a) assigning successfully pre-ordered .co domains to resellers and making them visible in your reseller account,
b) updating domains at the registry and within OpenSRS to show the correct registrant information, and
c) updating Reseller Accounts to withdraw funds for domains won and to release holds on funds for domains not won.
Given the unexpectedly large number of pre-orders received, this will take a bit longer than we anticipated - possibly up to 48 hours. We know you (and your customers) are eager to see how you did and we apologize for making you wait.
Note that MOST Pre-Order domains should be showing an order status of "Processed". If you see an order status of "Pending" on a Pre-Ordered domain it is likely that you had insufficient funds in your account and we did not submit your request. You'll need to process those requests again once you have sufficient funds in your Reseller Account. You may also see "Cancelled" as an order status if you submitted multiple orders for the same domain or if you did in fact cancel a pre-order.
"Landrush" Orders:
We will be inserting successful .CO Landrush orders into OpenSRS accounts as we receive the names from the registry. As previously announced, names with multiple applications during the Landrush phase will go to auction. Please note that the .CO Registry will be contacting auction participants directly with bidding information.
