If a domain name registration is not renewed by the expiration date, Register.com may offer the domain name at auction. Register.com allows an administrative grace period after a domain name expires before putting it up for auction and sends a series of renewal notices to our customers to make sure that there are multiple opportunities to renew the domain name. Please see our Services Agreement for complete details.
A domain name is placed in a parked status 15 days after the expiration date. This enables Register.com to place the domain name within our Domain Auction process. To learn more about our Domain Auction process please click here.
