A domain is like a rental: it needs to be renewed every year. What happens if the term expires?
Right after expiration
As soon as the term expires, the site and the attached email stop working. Visitors cannot open your site.
Grace period
After expiration, usually a few weeks of "grace period" are given. During this period the domain can be renewed at the normal price and everything restored.
Redemption period
If the grace period passes, the domain enters the "redemption" stage. It can still be restored, but with a significant extra fee.
Full loss
When redemption also ends, the domain is released and anyone can register it. At this stage your domain cannot be recovered.
How to prevent it?
- Enable auto-renewal โ the domain renews itself.
- Pay attention to reminders in the dashboard โ Sayt.uz notifies you in advance.
- Keep enough funds on your balance.
