If you let your domain expire it becomes available for other domainers to purchase. If another domainer purchases your domain you will no longer have access to that particular domain name. <\/p>\n
Unfortunately we see this happen every single day, someone trying to get back a domain that they let expire or failed to renew in time, in some cases it can be from years ago.<\/p>\n
\nRenewing your domain name is normally a simple process. Often your
\nregistrar will contact you prior to expiry to ensure that you renew
\nyour domain name, but this doesn’t always happen! To prevent any
\nproblems you can contact them and renew in advance. It is important to
\nhave your contact details up-to-date so the registrar is able to
\ncontact you, in case you forget. Generally you can check the expiry
\ndate of your domain by doing a quick whois search. As an extra measure
\nwrite the expiry dates of your domains on the calendar.<\/p>\n
After a
\ndomain expires there is a grace period, in which your domain goes
\nthrough phases and you have two months to recover your domain for a
\nminimal fee.<\/p>\n
However if you do let your domain expire and
\nsomeone else purchases it, be aware that you may not be able to get it
\nback, or at the very best get it back for a lot more than the
\nregistration renewal fees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
