Grace Period Notice
Once a domain enters the grace period, renewal does not restore service immediately.
The registry process can take up to 6 days before the website becomes fully active again.
Renew before the grace period to avoid this delay and get your site back online within hours.
Understanding the Grace Period & Restoration
What is the Grace Period?
After a domain expires, there is a short window (typically 30 days) during which it can still be renewed — but with a delay. During this time, the registry stops pointing the domain to your hosting.
Why does restoration take up to 6 days?
Once a renewal is initiated during the grace period, the registry must re-propagate the domain across its global network. This process is automated but can take several days depending on the registry.
What happens to my website & email?
During this 6-day window, your website and email services will remain offline. The domain will not resolve until the registry completes the propagation.
Can I avoid this delay?
Yes — simply renew before the domain enters the grace period. The system restores your domain within hours, with no long interruption.
Recommended: Renew immediately to keep your site online. If you wait, you may face up to 6 days of downtime even after payment.
