FORGET TO RENEW YOUR DOMAIN NAME?

IF YOU FORGET TO RENEW YOUR DOMAIN NAME

If you have a domain expire, it automatically goes into redemption, and there is a grace period to renew the domain. You can still renew it per the schedule below after the expiration date.

NOTE: your domain goes to auction after day 5 and you can lose it on day 31 to the highest bidder. If no bids are made, and you did not renew it during the grace period, you enter the restore period and could be charged $100-$500 or more to renew. This is not an AmeriWeb charge, but one made by the biggest registrars.

• Grace Period
  Days 1 The domain will stop functioning as the domain will be placed on clientHold status (WebSite won't load, email won't be delivered, etc.), but the domain can be renewed at our regular renewal rates. Please see below and know that you may lose your domain on the 31st day if it is bid upon via auction.
  Day 5 The domain is made available for auction bidding. You can still renew the domain at our regular renewal rates. If you renew the domain at any time before the auction ends, the auction will automatically stop. Your domain can be renewed at our regular renewal rates.
  Day 31 The domain auction ends. The highest bidder will be awarded the domain at this time if there are any active bids. You would lose your domain at this time if it was not renewed. If no bids were made, your domain can still be renewed.
  Day 33 You lose the right to renew at regular prices.

• Restore Period
  Days 34-64 The domain can only be renewed during this period using the registry restoration process. You can still renew the domain through your account, but the cost will include the $100-500 restore fee. This increased cost is a registar fee and not ours. We do not profit on it.

• Pending Delete
  Days 65-69 The domain can no longer be renewed at any price, and will be deleted from the registry. Once your domain reaches this status, there is nothing that can be done to renew it.

• Deleted
  Day 70+ The domain has been deleted from the registry and is returned to the pool of available domains for anybody to register. The domain (it is no longer your domain) can be registered by anyone in the world through any registrar.
  
  

PLEASE NOTE: These dates are not set in stone and may fluctuate slightly from one registrar to the next. Don't bet the store on it, renew your domain when due!

All domain names managed by AmeriWeb include several renewal reminders, to ensure your domain expiration does not "sneak up" on you.
