Once a domain name is deleted, it would generally slip into the Redemption Period ONLY under the following circumstances:
In all other cases, a deleted domain name cannot be Renewed/Restored/Redeemed. Click here to find information about our Renewal Grace Period and Domain Name Deletion Policy >>
Redeeming a domain name is costly, time consuming and generally a manual process. The Redemption Period is generally of 30 days after the domain name is deleted and during this period, only the current Registrar of the domain name can Redeem the domain name.
If the domain name is not Redeemed during this period, then it would move to the Pending Delete period for 5 days. In this status, the domain name can not be Redeemed and after this period, the domain name would be available for fresh Registration.
- The Redemption Period for a .EU domain name is 40 days. Moreover, the .EU Registry does not have a Pending Delete period. The domain name will be available for fresh Registration after 40 days from the date of Deletion.
- Any website/emails associated with a .UK domain name will stop resolving once the domain name Expires.
You may Renew your .UK domain name anytime from 6 months before its Expiry, upto 97 days after its Expiry. If you do not Renew your .UK domain name within 97 days after its Expiry, it would be automatically Deleted by the Registry.
It is important to note that there is no concept of a Redemption Grace Period in case of a .UK domain name.

- A .WS domain name will not be placed under Redemption Grace Period by the Registry upon Deletion. It will be made available for fresh Registration post Deletion. Hence, there is no possibility of Redeeming a .WS domain name.
- A .NAME domain name will not be placed under Redemption Grace Period by the Registry upon Deletion. It will be made available for fresh Registration post a Pending Delete period of 5 days, during which the domain name cannot be Redeemed.
- A .TEL domain name, if not redeemed during the 30 day Redemption Grace Period, would slip into a 5 day Pending Delete period. Post this, the domain name is placed on Delete Lockdown for 60 days and then would be made available for fresh Registration.
Procedure for Restoring any Domain Name in Redemption Grace Period (Pending Delete Restorable Status)
1. Login to your Control Panel, search for the domain name you wish to Redeem and proceed to the Order Details view. Click here to know how to do so >>
2. For a domain name under the Redemption Period, you will find a Restore button. You can then move ahead with Redeeming the domain name, by paying for the Invoice so generated. Click here for more details on payment >>
Kindly note that Redemption of a domain name is a lengthy process and hence it would take Dinsol.Co.In upto 5 working days to Redeem a domain name.
- A Restoration action, once completed, cannot be reversed. The only option would be deleting the domain name, in case the same is no longer required. Click here to know how a domain name can be deleted >>
- Restoration of a domain name (only after deletion by Dinsol.Co.In System post Expiry of the Renewal Grace Period) includes 1 year Renewal.
- Restoration of a .EU domain name will always include one year Renewal. However, Restoration will extend the Registration term from the date on which the domain name is Redeemed (till the second last day of the month, one year from the date of Restoration) and not from the Expiry date existing when the domain name was deleted.
For example, if a domain name has the Expiry date as 30 Oct, 2009 and it is Restored on 10 Nov, 2009, the new Expiry date will be 29 Nov, 2010 and not 30 Oct, 2010.
