Domain Name Expiry

Domain Name put on Parking Page

Whenever a particular Domain Name is not renewed till the expiry date, it would slip into the Renewal Grace Period. This period is of 40 days, during which the Domain Name would be put on a Temporary Commercial Parking Page, which would show that the Domain Name has expired. During this period any website and mails associated with the Domain Name would become non-functional.

When a domain name expires, the Registry Auto-Renews it and locks our funds for the same. However, the auto-renewal action is not immediate, but is queued up for execution. This often takes up to 48 hours to complete. Now, if you were to add another renewal action, the domain name would get renewed for an additional year, even though you do not wish it to get renewed for any more years than you requested.

To avoid this situation, the Parking Action is maintained under process. The domain name would bear the following status at this stage -

Action Requested: Parking of
Status of the action: Awaiting update at Registry

Once the execution is completed at the Registry, OrderBox will complete the Parking action and readily renew your domain name.

After you have Renewed the Domain Name, it would take around 24-48 hours for DNS propagation to complete World-wide and the actual website to start resolving properly and to start receiving mails.

Note: During this DNS propagation period, your website may intermittently revert to the Parking Page and then change again to your actual website, depending on how ISP caches refresh. However, if you have already renewed your domain name, do not renew your domain name again. The parking page will automatically get removed as soon as the DNS propagation completes.

If you do not renew the Domain Name in the Renewal Grace Period, then the Domain Name would be Deleted. However, should there be no back-order for the domain name, you would still have the option to Redeem it.
