What is the Redemption Period?

When a domain registration expires and is not renewed, it typically enters a redemption period (usually 30-60 days depending on the TLD). During this time:

• The original owner can still recover the domain by paying a redemption fee (usually significantly higher than regular renewal fees)
• The domain is not available for registration by others yet
• The website and associated services (email, etc.) are typically deactivated
• If not recovered during redemption, the domain will eventually be released for public registration

How to Recover These Domains

If you’re interested in any of these domains, you have several options:

• Contact the Current Owner: You can try to reach out to the original registrant through WHOIS records (if available) or through the registrar
• Monitor Domain Status: Keep an eye on these domains as they move through the redemption period and eventually into the pending delete phase
• Place Backorders: Many registrars offer backorder services that will attempt to register the domain once it drops from the registry
• Use a Drop Catching Service: For particularly valuable domains, specialized drop catching services offer higher chances of successful acquisition

For valuable domains in this list, we recommend acting quickly as the redemption period is time-limited.

Redemption Timeline and Next Steps

These domains entered redemption period on 2025-05-18. The typical domain lifecycle after expiration is:

• Redemption Period: 30-60 days where recovery is still possible (but at a higher fee)
• Pending Delete: 5-day period after redemption when the domain is preparing for release
• Drop Date: The final date when the domain becomes available for new registration
