What is the domain name life period?

The domain name is a concept that defines the processes that a domain name has been registered. These processes ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) processes within the framework of the rules set out and covers stages such as registration, renewing, deletion of a domain name. 

In this Information bank, we will examine the steps of domain names in the life cycle and in detail what they need to pay attention at each stage.

Field Name Stages of Life Period

1. Registration Period (Active Registration Period)

The domain name enters this period when it is successfully registered by the user.

•Duration: It can usually be registered between 1-10 years.

•Condition: The domain name is active and ready for use.

•What to do?: DNS Configuring settings can be associated with domain name website and email services.

•When?: In 30-90 days before the end of the period, the renewal process should be done.

•What You Need to Consider: If there is no renovation, the domain name goes to the next stage.

3. Suspended Period (Grace Period)

When the domain expires, the user is known for an additional time. During this period, the domain name becomes passive, but still renewable.

•Duration: Usually 30 days.

•Condition: Website and email services do not work, but the domain name does not sell to someone else.

4. Criminal Refresh Period (Redemption Period)

After the suspension period expires, the domain name enters a criminal process. The user can withdraw the domain name by paying an additional fee.

•Duration: Usually 30 days.

•Price: ICANN an additional fee is applied by the specified fee.

5. Silinme Period (Pending Delete Period)

During this period, the domain name is completely deleted and the renewal or withdrawal process can not be done.
