My domain has expired. Is the expired domain eligible for renewal and how long does it take for a domain to be released for public registration after the expiry and no renewal?
The domain renewal grace period lasts for 40 days, during which you can renew your domain at the regular price. If the domain is not renewed within this time, it enters a 30-day redemption period. You can still renew the domain during the redemption period, but there will be an additional fee, which varies depending on the domain extension.
After the 30-day redemption period, the domain enters a 5-day pending delete phase, during which it cannot be renewed or restored. Once this period ends, the domain will be released to the public and made available for purchase by anyone. We cannot guarantee the availability of the domain after it is released, as the domain name will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
