How long will it take for a domain name to be reclaimed if it is not renewed? Generally 30-50 days

Registering a domain name is equivalent to renting the domain name, but it cannot be completely bought out. It needs to be renewed every year, and it can be paid for 3-10 years at a time. If the domain name is not renewed, it will be taken back in 30-50 days. The domain name is a limited resource on the Internet and is also the only address to enter the Internet. Because of the uniqueness and particularity of the domain name, there must be a national-level server to manage and store the domain name information. Therefore, the country has invested and incurred costs in all aspects, and the annual renewal of the domain name has become inevitable.

If the domain name is not renewed, the domain name will be deleted after a period of expiration. After the deleted domain name is reopened for registration, anyone can purchase it.

In general, when your domain name is about to expire, a regular domain name registrar will call you or contact you through other means to tell you that your domain name is about to expire and remind you to renew it.

So, what happens if a domain name expires?

From not being renewed to being completely deleted or registered by others, a domain name will go through three stages: retention period, redemption period, and deletion period. If it is a worthless domain name, it will be open for registration. If the domain name has a certain value, it will be auctioned by the registrar.

The retention period is usually 30 days, which means that the domain name holder can renew to continue to own the domain name;

The redemption period is usually 15 days, which means that after the retention period, the original holder redeems the domain name that originally belonged to him at a higher price;

The deletion period is usually 5 days. Once the deletion period begins, it means that the domain name can no longer be restored, even if you pay money. "

But!! There is a but for everything!

If a domain name expires, its registrar has the right to auction it. Logically speaking, the domain name should be auctioned after it is deleted, otherwise setting a retention period, redemption period, and deletion period is not redundant?

However, many registrars simply cannot wait for 30+15+5 days, for fear that the original holder suddenly remembers to renew the subscription, or even auctions it before the retention period.

So, if you want your domain name not to expire or be lost, you must pay attention to renewal and pay more attention to the emails from the registrar where your domain name is located. If there is any information change, go to the registrar to modify it in time.
