Expired Domain Names: What You Need to Know
Understanding Expired Domain Names
Expired domain names are a common occurrence in the world of web domains. This status occurs when a domain owner fails to renew their registered domain. Once marked as expired, the domain is on its way to being deleted from the domain registry.
Renewal Notices and Procedures
If you receive a notification from your domain registrar that your domain has expired, and you wish to renew it, it's important to understand the process these domains go through before being deleted from the registry.
The Domain Expiration Process
Registration and Renewal
Initially, when you register a domain, it typically has a maximum registration period of ten years. Even if you renew it, you cannot extend the registration beyond ten years. However, some top-level domains, like .uk, can only be registered for two years at a time.
Expiration and Deactivation
Once a domain expires, it becomes deactivated, meaning that any services such as web pages or emails associated with it will stop functioning. During this period, which can last from 24 to 72 hours after renewal, the domain can still be reactivated.
Grace Period
After expiration, domains generally enter a grace period lasting around 40 days. During this time, the domain remains inactive, but you can renew it without any additional fees.
Redemption Period
Following the grace period, domains enter a redemption period of about 30 days. During this time, any WHOIS contact information is deleted. The domain remains inactive, but the original owner can renew it at a cost of $105 plus renewal fees. This restoration is manual and can be time-consuming.
Deletion Period
Finally, after the redemption period ends, the domain enters a deletion phase. Five days after this phase begins, the domain is completely removed from the registry and becomes available for anyone to register.
Understanding this lifecycle can help you manage your domain names effectively and avoid losing them to expiration.
