Domain Name Deletion
If you don’t renew your domain name before it expires, it will become inactive. Just one day after expiration, the domain will be deactivated and show a parking page indicating its expiration, and associated services may cease functioning, causing significant disruptions.
Thirty-six days after expiration, a third party can buy your domain. Imagine losing something you’ve built and cherished; if this occurs, you won’t be able to renew it.
If neither you nor a third party renews the domain, it will enter a registry redemption period around 40 days post-expiration. Some TLDs may enter this period sooner, with details available here. We may charge a redemption fee in addition to the renewal fee during this period, and these fees vary by TLD and can be found here.
After the registry redemption period, the registry may hold the domain for five days before it becomes available for general registration again, leaving you with one last chance to reclaim what is yours.
