Question about expired domain [IMPORTANT] - GoFuckYourself.com

sonofsam · 03-19-2006, 12:45 AM

I keep all my domains on 1 registrar.... i had 1 of my domains on another though, and didn't have the email address updated... so it is my fault that it expired and i didn't know...

but it expired on march 4th... is there a 30 day redemption period where i can still get it back?

heres my dilemma... i can't get a hold of the registrar to be able to renew it... and they won't return my call....

is there ANYTHING i can do to get it back? cause ICANN gives you 30 days after the expiry date to renew , correct? or is that just some thing registrars do out of courtesy? any help would be appreciated

why not contact icann?

the redemption period is not a fixed rule but a flexible right or grace period
some registra like register.com take ownership of the domains and hold them forever unless you pay them a shit load of money.

i have been waiting for domains that have expired to drop from the system and they are still being held by the account department of register.com after 2 years.

Some gay registrars like godaddy will "give" your domain to a domain squatting company who charges you a minimum of $700 for your domain back (no matter what it is... like thisismygaydomain.com). Godaddy gets a percentage of the sale of course... Not sure who else does this, but that exact thing happened to me.

same happened with me with namecheap, they asked $90.00 (if I remember correctly) for my domain

I've got a domain with GoDaddy that expired on March 4th and as of today, I can still renew it at regular price.

ICANN's policies were updated about a year or so ago. The individual registrar has some flexibility in their policies; they can hold a domain for a reasonable period (30-60 days) and allow you to restore it usually for just the regular registration fee for the first 15-30 days after it expires.

We use Enom and love them because they're cheap (around $8-9 if you buy in bulk), do auto-renews, have a very liberal expiration policy, and you can get someone on the phone very easily. The opposite of the spectrum used to be AITDomains, who sent a couple of notices that looked like spam, and just simply deleted the domain the day after it expired, allowing a squatter to capture it. If your registrar isn't directly reachable by phone and email, I'd transfer your domains to one that is reachable.

After whatever period the registrar holds it, it goes into "redemption" period, where you can pay a fee of $125-250 (most of which goes to Network Solutions as a complete rip off) to get the domain back.

Who is the registrar you're having problems with? If you can't reach them, likely as not they are reselling somebody else (most commonly Enom or OpenSRS) who can probably help you.

If it went on that date, you're still safe to get it, but you'll probably have to pay a huge fee to your registrar.
