EPP domain status code

serverRenewProhibited

set by: registry

The registry blocks renewal of the domain.

What it tells you about enforcement

Rare. The domain is on a path to expiry the registrant cannot stop.

The facts

Set by
registry
Resolves?
Yes — this code does not by itself stop the domain resolving.
Re-armable
Not applicable: nothing was suspended.
Where you see it
The status array of an RDAP record, or the Domain Status line in whois.

Do not confuse it with clientRenewProhibited

serverRenewProhibited is set by the registry; clientRenewProhibited is set by the registrar. They look the same in a whois record and mean different things about who acted and who can undo it. Read clientRenewProhibited.

Every status code

Ordered so the two that actually take a domain out of the zone come first.

Definitions follow ICANN’s published status-code list. The enforcement reading is ours. Last built 2026-09-20.
