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*. All such domain names would be put on a Temporary
Commercial Parking Page, which would indicate that the domain name has expired. During this period, any
website and mails associated with the domain name would become non-functional.

IMPORTANT
- The above Renewal Grace Periods are applicable if your domain name is expiring today.
- If your domain name has already expired, these values may have changed since. Contact our Support Team at http://sales.seekdotnet.com to confirm the Renewal Grace Period for your domain name.
- A .EU domain
name does not have any Renewal Grace Period. It will expire on the
second last day of the month, one year from the date of its
Registration/Ownership Identity Modification/Move/Transfer/Restoration.
The domain name will be deleted on the same day, if not renewed.
For example, if you register yourdomainname.eu for one year on 15 April,
2009, it will expire on 29 April, 2010 and will be deleted on the same
day, if not renewed.
If the domain name's Ownership Identity is modified or it is
moved/transferred/restored on 20 December, 2009, it will expire on 30
December, 2010 and will be deleted on the same day, if not renewed.

- Renewal Grace
Period for .UK Domain Names
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 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.
- Renewal Grace
Period for .NAME Domain Names
A .NAME domain name will have a Renewal Grace Period of 40 days.
If you do not renew the domain name in the Renewal Grace Period,
then the domain name would be deleted and made available for
Registration as a fresh domain name by the Registry post a Pending
Delete period of 5 days, during which the domain name cannot be
redeemed.
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.
IMPORTANT
All domain names (except the ones under the extensions listed below) are
auto-renewed by the respective Registry upon Expiry:
In case of an auto-renewed domain name, the Registry Whois displays
the Expiry Date one year ahead of the actual date on which the domain
name has already expired.
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
<domain name>
Status of the action: Awaiting update at Registry
Once the execution is completed
at the Registry, our System 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 Worldwide and the actual website to start resolving
properly and mails to be received on the domain name.
IMPORTANT
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.
Once a domain name has expired, it will go to into Renewal Grace Period, where
you can renew this domain name at normal costs. If you do not renew the domain name in the Renewal Grace
Period, then the domain name
would be deleted and the domain name will go into Redemption Grace
Period generally (provided there is no back-order for this domain name) and you would get
a chance to redeem it.
