I want to register a domain that has just expired. When does a registered domain become fully available?

Do you need to know when you can register a domain that has already expired? Do you want to know when one of your domains will be free? You only have to check the domain documentation and see how many days that extension (.COM, .NET, .SHOP, .EU...) needs to be free. In this guide we will explain how it works and how to check it.

All domain extenions have a life cycle that we have to keep in mind in order to know when the domain will be free after its expiration date. This life cycle in general consists of three states:

• Renew Grace Period
• Redemption Period
• Pending Delete

Depending on the extension of the domain, these periods will last more or less, and the time it may take for a domain to be free will depend on it.

You can check the information of each domain extension, with it's life cycle, from the domain information page, clicking over the domain extension.
