What Happens When Your Domain Name Expires

Say you’re running a business and have a to-do list that seems never-ending. Perhaps you’ve accidentally left your domain name to expire. So what happens when a web domain expires? Suddenly, your email doesn’t work and customers are calling in to say that they cannot access your website. What do you do now? Well, the one thing you don’t need to do is panic. You still have a window before everything is unsalvageable.

Domain Expiration Timeline

To give you a rough idea of what to expect, here’s an overview of what happens to a website when the domain expires:

Before expiration

As the expiration date of your domain draws closer, you’ll receive a handful of alerts via email. Upon receiving these notifications, you can elect to renew the domain or set it up for auto-renewal.

On the expiration date

Should the alerts go unnoticed, your domain name will enter a renewal grace time frame. 

1 day after expiration

Here’s when things like your email and domain-related services start to misbehave. This is when your hosting company deactivates and “parks” your domain.  

30 days after expiration

30 days marks the end of your renewal grace period. Now, your domain will enter into action and someone else is now able to purchase it. At this time, you can still renew your domain with a renewal registration fee.  

40 days after expiration

This marks the end of the auction. If this occurs without bidders, your domain goes back to the registry. To recover it, you’ll need to pay a redemption fee on top of your renewal payment.

42 days after expiration

On this day, you will not have any option to recover your domain. You can go through a general registration, but not if some other party has gotten hold of it.
