Every domain has an expiration date. To keep the domain active, it should be renewed before or on its expiration date.
What Happens When a Domain Expires?
Depending on the domain extension and registrar:
-
The domain may stop resolving or the website/email may stop working.
-
The domain may enter a grace period, during which renewal may still be possible at the regular renewal price.
-
After the grace period, the domain may enter a redemption period, where additional recovery fees may apply.
-
Eventually, the domain may enter pending deletion and become available for registration again.
Important
-
Renew your domain before the expiration date to avoid service interruption.
-
Do not assume that an expired domain can always be renewed at the normal price.
-
The exact expiration, grace, redemption, and deletion process depends on the domain extension and registry rules.
-
If a domain shows statuses such as
pendingDeleteorredemptionPeriod, contact support before taking further action.
How to Check Your Domain
You can check the domain's expiration date and current status from your Prabhu Host Client Area or through a WHOIS lookup.
If you are unsure whether an expired domain can still be renewed, contact Prabhu Host Support with the domain name.
