WHAT'S NEW

Will I be charged a renewal fee in addition to the RGP fee itself? Do I lose any time that remained on my registration?

If the domain name has expired before it is deleted and enters RGP and then it is restored, the registrar’s account is debited for the RGP fee and the one-year renewal fee. If the domain name has NOT expired prior to deletion and entering RGP and then it is restored, the registrar’s account is debited the RGP fee, but the renewal fee is charged only if a “renew” is requested explicitly or the domain was deleted within the 45-day Auto-Renew Grace Period. When at all commercially reasonable, the domain name will be reinstated, with temporary restrictions, within five calendar days of the restore request. It is up to each registrar whether to charge the registrant for the renewal fee in addition to an RGP fee.
