Domain Name Service > Blocking and Deleting Non-Renewed Domain Names
If the owner does not confirm the domain renewal during the Blocking Period, the Registrar initiates the procedure for domain removal in the Registry. The procedure for deleting a domain in the Registry lasts about 30 days. The status in the Whois service changes to:
- .NET, .COM, .CC, .TV, .BZ, .MN - RedemptionPeriod,
- .BIZ, .TEL — Pending Delete,
- .INFO, .ORG, .ME, .MOBI, .NAME - PendingDelete Restorable.
In most cases, within 20-25 days from the start of the removal procedure, the domain can still be restored and renewed (except for .WS, .KZ) at the request of the Domain Administrator, but this service is paid and usually amounts to at least 100 % of the cost of restoration and the base cost of renewal. To clarify the prices, you need to contact technical support by specifying the domain name. If the domain has not been restored and renewed, it will usually be deleted from the Registry within 5 days after the expiration of the RedemptionPeriod (Pending Delete or PendingDelete Restorable). During these 5 days (domain status in the Registry - PendingDelete), it is impossible to restore, renew or register a domain.
After removing a domain from the Registry, the domain can be registered by any person.
