Summary |
| Active (1-10 years) |
After purchasing a domain,
it will be active for 1 to 10 years, depending on the length
of the registration term purchased. |
| On Hold (1-45 days) |
When the registrant does not renew
their domain name, it will be put on hold for a period
of 1-45 days before a delete command is issued. If you
have a Web site for your domain name, it may no longer operate
during this period. The original registrant can still renew
their domain name during this period. |
| Redemption Grace Period (30 days) |
After the hold period, the domain
will be put into a redemption grace period (RGP) by the
registry. During this time your Web site will no longer
operate. The original registrant can renew their domain
name for a redemption fee. |
| Pending Delete Period (5 days) |
After the registry issues the delete
command, the domain goes into the pending delete period,
just before it's released to the general public. |
| Available |
Once the deletion process completes,
the domain name is released to the general public for registration. |
