When a domain registration expires, your options for renewal vary based on when your domain expired. We'll send multiple emails to notify you of expiration within the 30 days prior and 30 days after the expiration date of your domains.
Expiration timeline:
When a domain expires, it goes through the following stages before being permanently deleted:
Day 0: Expiration Date
This is the date on which the domain registration expires if not renewed.
Day 1 - 30: Grace Period
During this period, the domain owner can renew the domain at the standard renewal fee. The domain may still function, but some registrars might deactivate certain services.
Day 31 - 40: Suspension Period
If the domain is not renewed during the Grace Period, it enters the Suspension Period. The domain is typically taken offline, and associated services like websites and email stop functioning. Renewal is still possible at this stage, often at standard rates.
Day 41 - 70: Redemption Period
The domain enters a Redemption Period if not renewed during the Suspension Period. At this stage, the domain can still be restored, but the owner usually incurs an additional redemption fee along with the renewal cost.
Day 71 - 75: Pending Delete Period
The domain is queued for deletion. It can no longer be restored or renewed by the previous owner. After the Pending Delete Period, the domain is deleted and becomes available for registration by anyone.
