Expired domains - how long before they drop? - GoFuckYourself.com

DamageX · 02-03-2009, 02:05 AM

I know every registrar has a grace period during which you can renew the domain, then there's a redemption period and then they drop. How long is each of these steps?

Well, godaddy is sending me mails a long time after the domain is expired, it looks like they do everything to keep you as the domain owner.. I never took the time for these period but it's pretty long

Nice chart, so it looks like it may vary anyway according to ICANN?

ExLust · 02-03-2009, 05:04 AM

Depends on ICANN.

30 days redemption period and 15 to delete as i know

HorseShit · 02-03-2009, 06:02 AM

usually around 60 days give or take a few

decent names will most likely go to auction if snapnames or another company can grab them up

It seems to vary from different domain registrars in my experience

digifan · 02-03-2009, 07:06 PM

45 days as far as I know.

HighEnergy · 02-03-2009, 09:53 PM

35 days minimum plus any Registrar flux. Most (not all) Registrars add 10 days. As XXXTV Claire stated it's up to the Registrar but 35 is the minimum.
