What to do when your domain name has expired?
All domain names registered with SiteGround are configured to automatically renew. Still, if the automatic renewal for the domain name is disabled or we were unable to process the service renewal, your domain name may expire.
Based on the domain extension, if the domain name is gTLD (.com, .net, .org, .info, .biz), in the first 40 days after it has reached its expiration date – it will be available for renewal within this grace period. During this period no additional fees apply for recovering the domain name and you may renew it from your Client Area -> Services -> Domains -> Renew button.
After this grace period, the domain name enters the Redemption Period. During this period, the domain name will appear as Expired and cannot be renewed from your Client Area. Find out how to recover your domain from that period here.
If the domain name is ccTLD (country specific extension), the grace period time frame may vary. Some country specific domain extensions go into redemption as soon as they expire.
Once the Redemption period is over, the domain cannot be renewed and stops showing in your Client Area -> Services -> Domains.
