Domain Name Deletion
A domain name may be Deleted
from our database by 2 methods, explained below -
I. System Deletion
Once a domain name has Expired, it
will go to into Renewal Grace Period, where you can Renew this domain name at
normal costs. This Renewal Grace Period would be for 40* days (for most domain
name extensions). If you do not Renew the domain name in the Renewal Grace
Period, then the domain name would be Deleted and the domain name
(except a .UK, .WS and .NAME domain name) will go into
Redemption Grace Period.
However, should there be no back-order for the domain name, you would still have
the option to Redeem it.

domain name (except .UK, .WS and .NAME) from this status >>

The concept of Renewal Grace Period for
a .EU domain name is slightly different. Every .EU domain name will Expire
exactly 1 year from the date of Registration (since the maximum length
of registration is only a year). However, the
Renewal Grace Period will be only till the the second last day of the expiring
month (penultimate day of the month), post which the domain name will be deleted. Thus, different .EU
domain names may have different Renewal Grace Periods. Lets take a
couple of examples to demonstrate this -
-
abc.eu gets Registered on 24
Jul, 2006. This domain name will Expire on 24 Jul, 2007. If the domain
name is not Renewed until the Deletion date, it will be
Deleted from our System on 30 Jul, 2007 (since this is the second last
day of the expiring month). This domain name will have a
Renewal Grace period of 6 days. It will slip into Redemption Grace
Period after
31 Jul, 2007.
-
pqr.eu gets Registered on 27 Jul, 2006.
This domain name will Expire on 27 Jul, 2007. If the domain name is not
Renewed until the Deletion date, it will be Deleted from
our System on 30 Jul, 2007 (since this is the second last day of the
expiring month). This domain name will have a Renewal Grace
period of 3 days. It will slip into Redemption Grace Period post 31 Jul, 2007.
-
xyz.eu gets Registered on
31 Jul, 2006 and will Expire on 31 Jul, 2007. If the domain name is not
Renewed until the Deletion date, it will be Deleted from our
System on 30 Jul, 2007 (since this is the second last day of the
expiring month) and will not have
any Renewal Grace Period. It will slip into Redemption Grace Period post 31
Jul, 2007.
-
.INFO domain names will have a 15 day Renewal Grace Period. If
you do not Renew the domain name in the Renewal Grace Period, then
the domain name would be Deleted and the domain name will go into
Redemption Grace Period.
-
Renewal Grace Period in a .UK domain name is quite
different from other extensions. Any website/emails associated with
the domain name will stop resolving once your .UK 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
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.
- A .WS domain name will have a Renewal Grace Period of 30 days.
If you do not Renew the domain name in the Renewal Grace Period,
then the domain name would be Deleted and made available for
Registration as a fresh domain name by the Registry.
- 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 Renewal Grace Period of 5 days. If you do not Renew the
domain name in the Renewal Grace Period, then the domain name would
be Deleted and the domain name will go into Redemption Grace Period.
- A .NAME domain name will have a Renewal Grace Period of 40 days.
If you do not Renew the domain name in the Renewal Grace Period,
then the domain name would be Deleted and made available for
Registration as a fresh domain name by the Registry post a Pending
Delete period of 5 days, during which the domain name cannot be
Redeemed.
II. Manual Deletion
If you already have a domain name Registered, you can delete it
from your Control Panel within 4** days of Registration. This 4 day period in case
of domain names is referred as the Money Back Period. Deleting a domain
name
will immediately stop all functionalities (like the Website and Mails) associated with
the domain name. Also, a domain name explicitly deleted would entitle you to a
Refund of the entire amount, and there would be a charge of USD 1.0
for the Deletion.
IMPORTANT
-

extensions cannot be Deleted from within the Control Panel since
