Hosting Services Expiration and Renewal

Note that after a domain name expires, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to renew it for you.

.COM, .NET, .ORG, .BIZ, .INFO, .US, .CA - Such domain names are covered by Enom's registration agreement. Although there are no guarantees, these TLDs usually can be renewed after expiring. The grace period is about 40 days, after which the domain name may enter a redemption period. If you want to renew a domain name that has entered the redemption period, there will be a redemption fee in addition to the regular renewal fee. After that, the domain may enter a non-guaranteed reactivation period that lasts about a month. The domain name may be sold at auction or deleted from the registry after that, at the registrar's discretion. Once the domain registration expires, we have no control over this process. Note that these periods and their durations are subject to change by Enom as well.

.UK, .CO.UK - .UK domain names are active for 30 days after their expiration. You can renew your domain during that time. After that, they are suspended. If the domain name is not renewed, it will be deleted from the .UK registry 90 days after its expiration date, and it will become available for registration again at this point.

.DE - Expired .DE domain names are deleted from the registry at their exact expiration time. This means that after your .DE domain name expires, someone else may register it immediately. If this happens, you will lose the domain name. This is why we strongly recommend that you always renew your .DE domain names at least a week in advance. If you place a renewal order for a .DE domain name less than a week before the expiration date, it may be impossible for us to actually renew it.

.EU - When a .EU domain name expires, it is put in a 40-day "quarantine period" at EURid, which is equivalent to the redemption period for other TLDs. After this period is over, the domain name becomes available for registration again on a first-come, first-served basis.

.BG - In order to guarantee that we will be able to renew your domain name, you should renew it at least 20 days before it expires. After that, it may be transferred for management to the TLD registry (Register.BG). In that case, you would have to contact them about renewing it. There is a 30-day grace period after a .BG domain name expires in which you can renew it with Register.BG.

.HK - Such domain names are covered by HKDNR's registration agreement. When .HK domain names expire, they are put in a 60-day Blackout Period. During that period, it may be possible to renew the domain name. However, a late fee may be added to the regular renewal fee. After the Blackout Period, the domain name is deleted from the registry and becomes available for registration again.

Expiration - When an account expires, it may still be active for some time (usually a day) before any services stop working. After that, the web service is suspended and the website is replaced by an expiration notice.
