If your domain name expired on the due date, visitors will be unable to visit your website and it may be directed to a page showing that the domain has expired. This will disrupt your business operations and reflect badly on your business image. After a domain name has expired 1 to 29 days, it goes into a domain redemption period for 14 to 30 days. If you need to use the domain name during this period, there is a high domain redemption fee if you wish to retain ownership of the domain name.
