.es changes
If you have .es domains registered with us, you should have received an email a few weeks ago informing you of changes that apply to our integration with the registry. We've listened to your suggestions and will give you more time to adapt your systems and implement the new flag in case you use our API. The implementation of the new flag will become mandatory from September 1.
We will send you a new email with more details on how to implement the change in the API and WHMCS in some days, and share with you a Knowledge Base article with all the information.
