If the domain name renewal period has passed, can it be renewed?

When it comes to domain name expiration, we've always reminded everyone not to forget to renew. Don't forget to renew. This is important, and I've said it three times. However, some domain owners still forget to renew their domains until they expire, are deleted, and are re-auctioned. For premium domains, this can be a significant loss for the owner.

The important thing to note is that renewal is possible at any time during the validity period. Below, we'll focus on the situation where renewal is not done.

1. If a domain is not renewed, it enters a hold period, starting from the expiration date. During this period, the domain registrar will hold the domain, but the owner can still renew. This period generally lasts 1 to 45 days (the hold period for domestic top-level domains is approximately 30 days).

2. If an international top-level domain, like .com, is not renewed during the hold period, it enters a redemption period. Renewal costs are extremely high, reaching 20 to 30 times the original price. During this period, there's still about 30 days to consider reclaiming ownership of the domain. Those willing to pay a high price can still do so.

3. After missing the above two opportunities, the domain name will enter the deletion period. No operations can be performed at this time, and the time limit is 5 days. You can only wait for deletion. If the time is right, you can still re-register or pre-register the domain name as soon as possible.
