This guide will go through the different domains and what happens to them one they have passed their expiration date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
.ie domains completely expire 80 days after the expiration date. These domains can be renewed during this period, but your services will stop working and the domain will be suspended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The domain will then fall into Redemption Period<\/strong> where you can only renew this through the current registrar you are with. And this will bring the domain back and renew it for one year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your .ie domain is not within your Online Control Panel<\/strong> after the domain has expired, check with our Domain Admin <\/strong>department to see whether they can retrieve the domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once a .com domain has surpassed its expiry date, there are a few stages the domain goes through before it enters the open market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After roughly 30 days the domain will enter the stage of Redemption Period<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This stage is roughly another 30 days long, and the domain can still be renewed but the renewal fee for redeeming a domain in the Redemption Period<\/strong> is more than the original renewal cost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Once the Redemption Fee <\/strong>is paid, if you have emails or a website on the domain, these will come back online in 24-48 hours as long as all hosting packages are live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After the Redemption Period<\/strong> has passed, the domain will enter Pending Delete<\/strong>. At this stage we cannot redeem the domain and it will fall back into the open market for purchase in around 5 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once a .co.uk, .uk or .org.uk domain has passed its expiration date, it takes between 60-90 days for this domain to fall from your account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can still renew this domain until that point, but the domain will be suspended within this period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This means your services attached to the domain may stop working and not work until a domain renewal has been completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n NTLD\u2019s such as .shop and .live domains work similarly to the GTLD\u2019s. They will be suspended and go into a Redemption Period, <\/strong>then after that they will enter a stage of Pending Delete<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The time of how long you have before it expires will differ depending on what domain it is, so it would be worth checking in with our Domain Admin<\/strong> department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n.com\/.net\/.org Domains (GTLD\u2019s)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
