Can I get my domain back after it has expired or been deleted?

Often yes. After expiry you must be allowed to renew. After deletion the name can be restored in a 30-day grace period.

• After expiry the website stops loading for at least the last eight days the name can still be renewed.
• The page shown must say the name has expired and how to renew.
• After deletion, gTLD names get a 30-day Redemption Grace Period when the registrar can restore them.
• DNS stays off and transfers are blocked during that grace period.
• Registrars must show their restore fees when you register.
