Last weekend my domain was up for auto-renewal with GoDaddy but my credit card had expired so they switched the domain over to a GoDaddy landing page. I wasn't exactly pleased to see my blog replaced with ads. Fortunately there's an ICANN renewal grace period, so I didn't lose the domain and was able to switch it over to Namecheap.
- larrys 14y ago"Fortunately there's an ICANN renewal grace period" Renewal grace period isn't an ICANN thing it's a registrar thing. We're a registrar. ICANN doesn't specify what we give as a grace period at all at least in terms of anything that would cause a violation in our contract. They do ask us to specify the days that we will allow in a grace period but I've never seen any feedback at all as far as any restraints on what that time period should be.
- vidyesh 14y agoI might be wrong ( since you are a registrar ) I accidentally let my domain name expire. How do I get it back? You may be able to get it back for 30 days after it has been deleted by the registrar. This period is called the Redemption Grace Period. Only your original registrar can perform this service. The registrar is allowed to charge you a fee to restore your name during the Redemption Grace Period. https://www.icann.org/en/resources/compliance/faqs https://www.icann.org/en/resources/compliance/faqs
- larrys 14y agoWe are talking about two different things. You are referring to "redemption" and I am referring to a grace period. Redemption comes after the domain is deleted which is after a any grace period.
