Domain protection status

Markdown-backed fix guides for Amhost Labs audit findings.

What is it?

This RDAP finding reports domain lifecycle or registrar status values. Some statuses are normal protection, while others indicate suspension, expiry, recovery, or deletion risk.

Why does it matter?

Statuses such as clientTransferProhibited are usually normal registrar locks. Statuses such as clientHold, serverHold, redemptionPeriod, or pendingDelete can interrupt DNS resolution, mail delivery, and site availability if they are not handled quickly.

How to fix it?

Review the exact RDAP status in the report and act through the registrar.

clientTransferProhibited  -> usually normal transfer lock
clientHold/serverHold     -> contact registrar or registry
redemptionPeriod          -> renew or restore the domain
pendingDelete             -> urgent recovery may no longer be possible

Resolve billing, verification, abuse, or policy issues with the registrar, then rerun the audit after the status changes propagate.
