1. Domain Renewals
Existing Domains will be able to be renewed up to 2 months after expiry date after which the domain names will be suspended. After the domains have expired, two email Reminders will be sent to Billing and Administrative Contact after the Due Date within the additional 2 Months Period after expiry If payments are not received after this period the domain will be suspended.
2. Suspended Domains
Domain names that have not been paid for within the set Billing Cycle will be Suspended but maintained in the database for an additional 180 days. If a domain is not reclaimed within this period, it will be quarantined for 3 months after which the name will be released back into the pool for re- registration.
3. Redemption Grace Period (RGP)
The Redemption Grace Period is a ninety (90) day period that begins after a
domain name has been suspended.
4. Redemption Hold Period (RHP)
Following the suspension of a name by the registry, if there has not been a request for the name to be restored during the 90-day RGP, then the name enters a Redemption Hold Period, or RHP. RHP lasts for ninety (90) days, and during this time the name is locked. Once a domain name passes the 90-day RGP deadline, it can only be restored either after the ninety (90) day RHP or if ANY registrar requests for it and pays the renewal fee for three (3) years.
