What is Redemption Grace Period and How to Restore a Deleted Domain Name?

Once a domain name is deleted, it would generally slip into the Redemption Grace Period only under the following circumstances:

  • Domain name was manually deleted by requesting the Futured Names's Technical Support Team.

  • Domain name was automatically deleted by our System as the domain name had Expired and was not Renewed until the end of it's Renewal Grace Period.

    Note

    A domain name will not slip Redemption Grace Period under the following circumstances:

Redeeming a domain name is costly, time consuming and generally a manual process. The Redemption Grace Period is generally of 30 days after the domain name is deleted and during this period, only the current Registrar of the domain name can Redeem the domain name.

If the domain name is not Redeemed during this period, then it would move to the Pending Delete period for 5 days. In this status, the domain name can not be Redeemed and after this period, the domain name would be available for fresh Registration.

Note

  • A .NAME domain name will not be placed under Redemption Grace Period by the Registry upon Deletion. It will be made available for fresh Registration post a Pending Delete period of 5 days, during which the domain name cannot be Redeemed.

  • .WEB.IN domain names become immediately available for registration upon Deletion and will not enter Redemption Grace Period.
