Steps
- 1
Grace period after expiry: optional and set by the registrar (0–45 days; about 25 days with us). You can renew at the normal price, but the site and email may stop.
- 2
Redemption grace period: a mandatory 30 days after the domain is deleted. It stops working completely and can only be restored with an extra redemption fee.
- 3
Pending delete: 5 days during which the domain cannot be recovered.
- 4
After that the domain is released and anyone can register it.
- 5
These stages are run by the ICANN-accredited registrar under its policies - so keep renewals and wallet credit in place to avoid them.
Notes
- Enable automatic payment from your wallet so domains renew without interruption.
