What happens when a domain expires?
Updated on 08/10/2026
- Day 0: the domain expires; the website and email stop working.
- Grace period (about 30 days depending on the extension): renewal possible at the normal price.
- Redemption period (about 30 days): restoration possible with high restore fees set by the registry.
- After that, the domain is deleted and becomes available to everyone again.
Timeframes vary by extension: contact us as soon as possible if your domain has expired.
