FAQs

What is the difference between expired domain and dropped domain?

When a domain is registered, its domain life cycle details are typically accessible through a service called WHOIS. A key element in this information is the "domain status," which offers insights into the domain's lifecycle. The cycle begins with the domain's registration, where it's active and fully operational. However, if the domain isn't renewed by its owner before the expiration date, it transitions into the "expired" state, rendering it inactive.

Following the expiration, there's a crucial phase called the "Redemption Period," which typically spans around 30 days. During this period, the domain isn't active and might not be present in zone files, but the previous owner has a last opportunity to renew it, albeit with an additional fee. This phase is the final chance for the previous owner to maintain ownership before the domain becomes available for new registrations.

Subsequently, the domain moves into the "Pending Delete," which usually lasts up to 5 days. This status marks the domain for imminent release, signifying that it will soon be open for new registrations. Domains in the above three states are called expired domains.

After the Pending Delete grace period concludes, the domain finally transitions to the "Deleted" or "Dropped" state, making it officially available for anyone to register. Those domains are called dropped domains. It's important to note that the availability of dropped domains can vary depending on the policies of domain registrars and the competitive domain market, so staying informed about these statuses is crucial, particularly if you're interested in acquiring domains with expired or dropped status.
