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