When your domain expires, your website and email stop working, but you still have a limited window to get it back. First, the domain enters a short grace period, where you can renew it at the normal renewal price. If too much time passes, it may enter a redemption period, where the registry charges a much higher fee to restore it. We do not set the redemption price.
If the domain isn’t renewed during these stages, it eventually becomes available for the public to register again — meaning someone else could claim it. To avoid losing your name or paying expensive recovery fees, it’s always best to renew your domain on time through your account or visit our Domain Registration page to keep everything active and protected.
