What does the domain redemption fee represent?
No one wants to pay extra for a purchased service. For this reason, we advise you to read this article about expired domains.
The redemption fee is an amount imposed by the registrar for domains that have entered quarantine after exceeding the expiration date.
Does it apply to all domain extensions with an overdue expiration date?
No. This fee only applies to certain domains. To view the domains that require a redemption fee, you can check the table on the Domain Terms. page.
After how many days from the due date is this fee applied?
The number of days until the redemption fee is applied varies depending on the extension. For references, see the table at Domain Terms.
I wish to pay the redemption fee, how do I proceed?
You will need to contact the commercial department (through one of the three customer support channels) for the issuance of a proforma invoice regarding the redemption of the domain in question.
I do not wish to pay the redemption fee, but I still want to own the domain, is this possible?
In this case, one can wait until the domain becomes available on the market and register it as a new domain. Attention! The client will need to monitor the domain name and the expiration date in order to place an order as soon as it becomes available on the market. Hostico does not assume responsibility if the domain is purchased by another person or legal entity.
