is the Redemption Period? |
QUESTION:
What is the Redemption Period?
|
ANSWER:
The redemption period is a Registry
level period of up to 30 days that occurs when a domain name
is deleted after it expires without being renewed. Instead of
just being deleted and returned to the pool of domain names
available for registration, the registry holds the name in a
REDEMPTION PERIOD. During this 30-day period, the original
domain registrant may retrieve the domain name from deletion
(usually for an additional fee) by contacting their Registrar.
This extra 30-day period extends the time available to renew
expired domain names. However, all names that enter the
redemption period are removed from the zone files (the list of
domains currently in the global DNS); therefore, any Web site
or email services associated with the domain name will stop
working.
After the 30-day redemption period there is a 5-day pending
delete phase. When a domain is in this phase no one can
retrieve the domain and it cannot be registered. After the
5-day pending delete phase the Registry will release the
domain name back into the public pool of available domain
names.
We strongly recommend that you renew your domain registration
before the domain name is placed in redemption. If your domain
name is placed into redemption, we cannot prevent the zone
files being removed from the DNS and your Web site and any
associated services will cease to work.
IMPORTANT NOTE There is an additional fee, separate
from the renewal fee, for retrieving a domain name from
redemption.
