What happens when a .xyz domain is not renewed
| Phase | How long | What it means for you |
|---|---|---|
| Renewal grace | Set by your registrar | You can still renew at the normal price for as long as your registrar allows, but the site and email may already be off. |
| Redemption | 30 days | The domain is out of DNS. Only you can get it back, through your registrar, and a restore fee comes on top of the renewal. |
| Pending delete | 5 days | Five days is ICANN's typical length; this registry publishes none. Nobody can renew or restore the name now, and afterwards anyone can register it. |
