This rule ONLY applies to .com / .net / .org / .info domain
names. This does not apply to any other domain names.
The Redemption Grace Period is a thirty (30) day period
that begins after your domain name has officially expired.
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers
(ICANN) has required that registries implement this facility
to allow the original registrants (domain name holders)
to redeem a deleted name.
The reason for the introduction of the Redemption Grace
Period process is to provide additional time to catch
erroneous deletions before the name is made available
for re-registration.
When a name enters the Redemption Grace Period, it is
removed from the zone file (if it was originally in the
zone file). As a result, any Internet services served
by the domain name will be disabled (e.g. e-mail or a
Website). The registrant must act IMMEDIATELY if he or
she wants to keep the name.
If you wish to redeem a domain name when it has entered
the Redemption Grace Period you will need to download
the redemption grace period form from here. Fill it in
and fax back to Aceipro.
Please note, the fee to restore a domain name in the
Redemption Grace Period is $140.00. This includes a one year
renewal.
Once the domain is out of redemption there is approximately
a 5 day delete period and then the domain can be registered
again on a first come first served basis.
