If your domain name registration expires – don’t panic, you can easily retrieve it; if you’re quick enough. But the longer you leave it not renewed, the more it may cost you to do so.
Early in the 2000’s, the loss of domain names through registration deletions cause by mistake or fraud became an increasing problem. To combat the issue, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) introduced two safeguards – the Grace Period and the Redemption Period. These also work in favour of registrants who have simply forgotten to renew their name.
When a name ending in.com,.net,.org,.info,.biz expires, it first goes into the Domain Name Grace Period (DNGP), which lasts for approximately 40 days.
During the Grace Period, a site associated with a name cannot be viewed with a browser and all other services such as email will also cease to function. The registrant’s details are still available via a WhoIs query. The domain can be revived simply by paying the renewal fee. After payment, the name will automatically become active again, although it could be 24 hours or so before DNS (Domain Name System) propagation completes and a site is reachable again from every part of the world.
At the end of the Grace Period, the name then enters an additional 30 day Domain Name Redemption Period (DNRP) where all WhoIs information is removed, but the name may be retrieved by the original registrant. However, it is a costly and complex process costing up to a couple of hundred dollars and takes a number of days.
If after the Redemption Period the name is not claimed by the original registrant, it then enters a 5-day Pending Delete phase after which time, the domain name will be released and able to be registered by any other eligible party. In total, the amount of time that elapses between expiry and before the name is available for registration by another party is 76 days.
The timing of the release of the name, also known as “dropping, after this period is random, but usually occurs sometime late morning to early afternoon U.S. time the day after the end of the Pending Delete phase. If a name has a history of activitiy, there will usually be others waiting to grab it, some using automated services that repeatedly query the status of the name until it becomes available.
