".be domains must actually be renewed 30 days before they expire or you lose it"
(In the space as well). I think I would point out here what you are (probably) referring to which may not be obvious to HN readers by "must actually be renewed".
Domains in .com .net .org .info are auto renewed at the registry level.
It's then up to the registrar to delete them if the customer doesn't want the name. With cnoi they have 45 days to do so a grace period that they typically extend to their customers.
I'm assuming (since I'm not familiar with .be in particular) that in that cctld a registrar must proactively renew a name prior to expiration or lose the name.
Edit: fixed gtld to cctld
- robalfonso 12y agoThis is correct. I'm referring to the registrar-registry relationship and not customer-registrar relationship. In .com,.net,.org for example auto renew occurs at 12am the day of expiration. However, for some of the odd ones like .be if you haven't issued a renew command 30 days prior to expiration then its the same as issuing a delete on the day of expiration and have it immediately take effect (normally domains go into pendingDelete status for a limited amount of time before actually being deleted). Also to clarify .be is a ccTLD not a gTLD and so they have a different set of standards and rules as far as ICANN is concerned. I would love it if all domains would just auto renew by the registry and we'd send the delete command if customers didn't want them. Its what I want for christmas :)
- larrys 12y ago"Its what I want for christmas :)" No you don't you want some 2 letter .com's for Christmas.
- robalfonso 12y agoWell I just snagged a 3 letter co.com so that was nice, santa doesn't have the pockets for a 2 letter .com unfortunately
