Don’t Let That Domain Expire
Recently I decided to let one of my domains expire, then I changed my mind. Once a domain expires, it stays in an expired state for about 30 days and then a redemption period for about 30 days. Finally the URL goes to pending to be deleted for 5 days, in which it can not be saved. The renewal charge is generally $9.99 for the renewal and then ICANN has a $89 redemption fee to renew it. You can imagine if you have many domains, it could cost you a large chunk of change to get your names back. Thus sign-up for reminder emails at your domain dealer (i.e. Godaddy, Aplus.net, etc…) or at domain tools free domain monitor service.

Good call. They are so cheap, why not do it? You’ll be glad you did.
