I accidentally let my domain expire. What is the grace period for renewing this domain, and how much does it cost to re-register it?
When you register a domain, the default setting for renewal is “auto-renew,” which saves you the trouble of having to remember to renew it each year. However, if you’ve set the domain to “auto-expire,” and forget to renew your domain you can still retrieve it after it has expired, as long as it is a generic TLD (.com, .net, .org). After a domain registration has expired, there is a 45 day grace period, during which the domain can be renewed by the former owner. The cost of re-registering the domain at this point is $90.
