For Resellers:
1. Log in to your Reseller Admin Control Panel from http://manage.gossimer.biz/reseller
2. Go to Products -> Renewal Management
3. Before clicking on the Go button, select/mention the following details
Product – Select the Product whose Orders you wish to renew from the drop down
Number of Days – Enter the number of days to obtain a list of all Expiring orders of (all) your Customers within this period
Customer (optional) – If you wish to renew only orders belonging to a particular Customer, you may do so by mentioning the Customer Username (email address) or Customer ID (number) in the appropriate field. If you leave this field blank, the search will result in orders belonging to all your Customers.
For example,
Case 1 – if you want to renew Orders belonging to All Products, expiring in the next 30 days, then you would need to select the Product as All Products, mention 30 days and not fill the Customer field.
Case 2 – if you want to renew only Customer Username a@somedomain.com all orders belonging to All Products, expiring in the next 30 days, then you would need to select the Product as All Products, mention 30 days and fill the Customer field with a@somedomain.com.

5. Click on Renew Selected Orders, to select the Number of years for which you wish to Renew each Order.
6. Decide how you wish to Pay for the Renewal of the Orders by selecting one of the Payment Options mentioned below and then click on the Continue button to execute the Renewal
-
Option 1 – Renew the Orders and the Invoices will be kept Pending for the Customer. This way, he can pay for the Invoices later.
-
Option 2 – Renew the domain names using the Current Debit Account Balance of the Customer. This option would immediately debit your Customer’s Debit Account for the Cost of the Renewals. If there are insufficient funds in the Customer’s Debit Account balance, then the system would renew as many Orders as possible.
-
Option 3 – Renew the Orders without raising any Invoices for the Customer.
IMPORTANT
At any point of time, you can only add two Bulk orders for any Customer. This implies that you would not be able to add another Bulk Registration / Renewal / Modification request for a Customer if two Bulk Actions are already running for this Customer. You will be able to add another Bulk request once the earlier request has been processed completely.

22 Jul 10 Transferring your .EU Domain Name
Before proceeding with the Transfer you are advised to first go check if your Domain Name can be Transferred. Click here to check if your domain name can be transferred >>
IMPORTANT
In case of a .EU Domain Name Transfer, the Expiry date is updated to 1 year from the date of Transfer and not to 1 year from the date the domain name was set to expire prior to Transfer.
For example, if a Domain Name has the Expiry date as 24 Oct, 2007 and it gets Transferred to another Registrar on 2 Sep, 2007. The new Expiry date will be 2 Sep, 2008 and not 24 Oct, 2008.
If you wish to Transfer a .EU Domain Name to Gossimer, then you need to follow the steps mentioned below:
Transfer Process for Customers
1. Login to your Control Panel from http://manage.gossimer.biz/customer.
2. In the Control Panel go to Domains -> Domain Registration -> Transfer. There, enter the Domain Name you wish to Transfer.
3. Select the Registrant Contact for this Domain Name. You may select from the available list of contacts or Add a New Contact.
It is compulsory for you to agree to the associated Product Agreement(s) by selecting the Check Box.
4. In order to avoid any downtime for the website/emails associated with your .EU domain name during the Transfer, it is necessary to mention the Name Servers already in use by your .EU domain name. You may also provide any new Name Servers that you would like to associate your .EU domain name with. Here, it is obvious that all the necessary DNS records are already created on the new Name Servers for the website/emails to be functional.
5. You need to mention any existing Child Name Servers for your .EU domain name alongwith their respective IP Addresses. This is necessary to avoid any downtime for the website/emails associated with any domain name using these Child Name Servers as their Name Servers. If you wish to Register any new Child Name Servers, you may also mention the same alongwith the respective IP Addresses. These new Child Name Servers will be Registered once the domain name is Transferred successfully.
Child Name Servers can also be Registered separately. Click here to know how >>
6. Finally, proceed with the Payment of the Invoice. Click here to read more details on Payment >>.
Now that you have placed the Transfer Order, the Registrant Contact for the Domain Name will receive an e-mail from the Registry for the Transfer Authorization process, which needs to be approved within 7 days. The Registry provides an additional grace period of 7 days for approval, in case the Transfer was not approved within the initial 7 day period. The authorization can also be provided through a fax to the Registry from the Registrant Contact. Template of the confirmation fax is provided below:
The request is processed once the Registry receives approval from the Registrant.
Transfer Process for Resellers
