serverHold domain status
If you see a "Domain Status: serverHold" in Whois (or whois.eurid.eu for .eu domain names), this means that the domain has been suspended by the TLD zone registry.
In this case of Server Hold status you can contact the TLD zone registry support (see their list of contacts below).
Note: If the domain is present in antivirus blacklistings (you can check it by services like VirusTotal, Spamhaus, MxToolbox, URLVOID etc.) we recommend clean up your site and delist it before contacting registrar or registry.
Note: We also recommend checking the IP address to which the domain was bound for listing in Spamhaus Blocklist (SBL) because binding a domain to a dirty IP address from Spamhaus Blocklist (SBL) can cause the domain to be listed in Domain Blocklist (DBL).
Note: To reduce the risk of domain suspension we recommend activating the Domain Protect + service with the blacklist monitoring option.
