Domains renewal FAQ

What happens if my domain expires?

If you do not renew your domain name in time, it enters a "redemption" period during which it can still be reactivated. Once the "redemption" period is over, the domain enters the "restoration" period, during which the domain is not available for public registration but can only be re-registered by its holder.

Once these two steps are completed, the domain enters the final "deletion" phase, during which the domain name can no longer be re-registered by its holder. Once the deletion is complete, the domain name is again freely available and can be registered by anyone.

The duration of these different phases varies depending on the extension (.ch, .com, .fr, etc.).
