The Life-Cycle of a Domain
When a domain name passes the expiration date, it enters a «grace»
period, during which the current registrant can still renew. This grace
period varies by registrar, but usually lasts from 30 to 45 days.
It can be more or less depending on circumstances. The record usually
reflects the status ON-HOLD during the grace period.
If the
current registrant hasn't renewed the name when that period is over, the
domain enters another 30 day period called
REDEMPTION PERIOD.
Again, if
the current registrant does not have the domain name restored and
renewed by the end of this period, the registry places the registration
in DELETING status, and approximately
five days later the domain name will become
available.
Please
note that the status labels are different for .org names. REDEMPTION
PERIOD and DELETING statuses are combined but total approximately 35 to
36 days.
