What happens when a domain expires?

Updated on 08/10/2026

  1. Day 0: the domain expires; the website and email stop working.
  2. Grace period (about 30 days depending on the extension): renewal possible at the normal price.
  3. Redemption period (about 30 days): restoration possible with high restore fees set by the registry.
  4. 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.
