Pending Deletion

The domain life cycle is comprised of the different stages that a domain goes
through, from being available for registration to its expiration and eventual
deletion. Getting to know these phases can help you keep your domain active and
avoid losing it.



This cycle can be divided into the following phases:




AVAILABLE

All domains start by being available for purchase. To register a new domain, go
to our Domain Checker, where you can also explore alternative options in case
your preferred name is already taken.




ACTIVE

The domain becomes active after you purchase it and complete the registration
process. While the minimum active period is one year, some domain extensions can
be registered or renewed for longer. In that case, you will have the option to
select the period during the purchasing process.



You can keep ownership of the domain as long as you renew it on time.




EXPIRED

As soon as the domain expires, it will stop working. The website will display an
error, and email services will be suspended. To prevent these interruptions,
consider enabling auto-renewal.



Expiration consists of two possible periods: grace and redemption. You can still
renew an expired domain, though the renewal process varies based on the period.
Expand the sections below for more information:




GRACE PERIOD

Within this phase, the domain name can be reactivated without risk of deletion
by paying the standard renewal fee. Please consider that some TLDs don't feature
a grace period and directly enter the Redemption period upon expiration. The
duration of the grace period, when applicable, can differ based on the TLD.




REDEMPTION PERIOD

After the grace period concludes, or following expiration for domains lacking a
grace period, the domain enters the redemption or redemption grace period. To
redeem the domain, an additional fee is required, aside from the renewal cost.



A few TLDs do not have a redemption period, going directly to Pending Deletion
after expiration (or the grace period, if applicable). The redemption period's
length, if present, depends on the TLD.




PENDING DELETION

When the redemption period ends, or if the domain has a grace period but not
redemption, the domain moves to the pending deletion phase. The only option to
recover a domain pending deletion is to wait until it's fully deleted.



Once it's available, it is possible to repurchase it. Please note that the
domain will be accessible for anyone to purchase.



By taking these phases into account and ensuring the timely renewal of your
domain — such as through automatic renewal — you can maintain a consistent
online presence and brand identity.
