Domain Name expiry process


Most of the people forgot to renew the domain name and think that the domain name will be available immediately after the expiry date or they can register it again with other service provider/registrar. Actually domain name will not be available public until 75 days after the expiry date. The status of the domain name changes to Expired happens when it is not renewed by the owner of it, it will be available for the owner to renew it for next 30 – 40 days depends on the registrar after the domain expiry, this is called grace period for the domain name, in this period the domain name will be in inactive state and the all the services of the domain like FTP, mails, website will not work and it can be renewed by the owner at the same renewal price.


Here is the next step after the grace period ends the status of the domain will be changed to redemption period. whois information for this domain name will not be available during this period and if the original owner of the domain decides that he want to have the same domain name renewed, he has to pay additional amount around $100, in many cases original owner of the domain name will not renew the domain name in the redemption period.


This is the last phase after the redemption period, if the domain name enters into this Pending Restore period, it will have 7 days to get it restored else the domain will go into a locked status and pending delete period. The domain will be in deletion period for only 5 days. During the last day of Pending Delete status the domain name is mostly dropped in between 11 AM and 2 PM Pacific Standard Time. After this drop from ICANN database it will be available for the public to register it again newly.
