Domain Name Registration and Deletion Cycle

What happens if I don't renew my domains?

There are several steps after your domain expires to safeguard you from losing any domains you want to keep.

1. 60-days* before your domain(s) expire Signature Domains will send notices reminding you to renew them. The exact expiration date can be seen in your account.


2. If the domain expires it may still be maintained in the registration database for a 5-day* grace period where it can be renewed at the normal renewal price. During this time all services such as hosting or email will not be active.


3. After the grace period it will be deactivated and placed into a 30-day* Redemption Period (Note - Some domains may not make it to the redemption period if they are purchased by a third party. Be sure to renew your domains before they enter redemption status.)


4. Once the Redemption Period has elapsed the domain may be registered by another party.

* - Number of days stated in the domain expiration/redemption explanation are approximate.
