When a domain name expires, you will be unable to make any modifications to the domain name. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Transferring the domain to a new registrar or owner
- Obtaining your domains EPP code, unlocking the domain, or modifying ID protection
- Changing your domains nameservers or contact details (Registrant, Admin, Billing, Technical)
If your domain has expired, don’t worry, you still have time to renew it. Your domain(s) can be renewed at a regular price up to 30 days after the expiry date. After the grace period, if the domain is available for renewal, an additional Late Renewal fee may apply.
After the standard renewal period, the domain(s) will enter the Redemption Period, where you can pay a restore fee to the registry of that extension to get your name back and then pay the standard renewal fee to renew it. The redemption period varies by extension but is usually another 40 days.
Should the domain name not be redeemed, it will eventually enter a pending deletion period which lasts for 5 days. At this point the domain cannot be restored and will be deleted from the registrars database at the end of 5 days. Once the domain is deleted it will once again be available for registration through any supporting registrar.
