What is Redemption Grace Period and how to get a Domain Name (Except .UK, .WS and .NAME) back from it (Restoring a Domain Name in Pending Delete Restorable Status)
Once a domain name is
deleted, the domain name (except a .UK, .WS and .NAME domain name) would slip into the Redemption
Period ONLY under the following circumstances:
- manual deletion of domain name by contacting Klicktech Solutions
Technical Support
- System deletion of domain name post Expiry of the Renewal Grace
Period and the domain name does not have any backorder against it.
In all other cases,
a deleted domain name cannot be Renewed/Restored/Redeemed.
Click here to find
information about our Renewal Grace Period and Domain Name Deletion Policy >> Redeeming a
domain name is costly, time consuming and
generally a manual process. The Redemption Period is of 30* days
(for most domain name extensions) after the domain name is deleted and during this period, only the current Registrar of the
domain name can Redeem the domain name.
If the domain name is not Redeemed during this
period, then it would move to the
Pending Delete period for 5 days. In this status, the domain
name can not be Redeemed and after this period, the domain name would
be available for fresh Registration.
IMPORTANT
* The Redemption Grace
Period is different for some domain name extensions as stated below:
-
The
Redemption Period for a .EU domain name is 40 days. Moreover, the .EU Registry
does not have a Pending Delete period. The domain name will be available for
fresh Registration after 40 days from the date of Deletion.
-
Any website/emails associated with a .UK domain name will stop
resolving once the domain name Expires.
You may Renew your .UK domain name anytime from 6 months before its Expiry, upto 97 days after its
Expiry. If you do not Renew your .UK domain name
within 97 days after its Expiry, it would be automatically Deleted by the
Registry.
It is important to note that there is no concept of a Redemption Grace
Period in case of a .UK domain name.
-
Third Level .COM/.NET/.ORG domain names under the extensions -
.EU.COM, .GB.COM, .AE.ORG, .KR.COM, .US.COM, .QC.COM, .DE.COM,
.GB.NET, .NO.COM, .HU.COM,
.JPN.COM, .UY.COM, .ZA.COM, .BR.COM,
.CN.COM, .SA.COM, .SE.COM, .SE.NET,
.UK.COM, .UK.NET, .RU.COM
will have a Redemption Grace Period of 45 days.
-
A .WS domain name will not be placed under Redemption Grace
Period by the Registry upon Deletion. It will be made available for fresh
Registration post Deletion. Hence, there is no possibility of Redeeming a
.WS domain name.
-
A .NAME domain name will not be placed under Redemption
Grace Period by the Registry upon Deletion. It will be made available for
fresh Registration post a Pending Delete period of 5 days, during which the
domain name cannot be Redeemed.

Kindly note that Redemption of a domain name is a lengthy process and hence it would take Klicktech Solutions
upto 5 working days to Redeem a domain name.
IMPORTANT
-
A Restoration action, once completed, cannot be
reversed. The only option would be deleting the domain name, in case
the same is no longer required.

-
Redemption of a domain name** (only
after deletion by Klicktech Solutions System post Expiry
of the Renewal Grace Period) includes 1 year Renewal.
-
** Redemption of a .EU domain name
will always include one year Renewal. However, Renewal will extend the
term from the date on which the domain name is Redeemed and not from the
Expiry date existing when the domain name was deleted.
