A domain registration goes through a few stages after it expires, which vary depending on the TLD:
- Renewal-Grace Period: For the first 30 days after a domain has expired, you may simply renew the domain registration as normal.
- Redemption Period: After Renewal-Grace, an expired domain enters Redemption for 40 days. In this state, you may still renew the domain; however the registry charges a substantial fee for domain redemption equal to ten (10) times the standard renewal fee (example: a renewal fee of $15.00 USD equals a redemption fee of $150.00 USD). If your domain is in Redemption and you still wish to renew it, please contact Support.
- Pending Delete: After Redemption, a domain enters Pending Delete for up to seven days. At the end of Pending Delete, the domain registration is completely removed from the registry and may be created again as a brand new domain name. Domains in Pending Delete cannot be recovered.
