The domains comply with a specific life cycle, from their registration they have a duration that can be 1 year or more, after completing said period, that is, when your domain expires, there are 3 phases; the grace period, the punishment period and the elimination period.

In the next few lines we will be explaining all the details about the Renew Grace Period.

What is the Grace Period?

It is the first phase after completing the duration of the domain**,** during this time you can renew your domain, paying the usual price for it.

When the grace period begins, the domain will no longer resolve the DNS servers, in short, it will not work.

To know how long the grace period for your domain lasts, you can take a look at the information on its life cycle based on the extension it has. For example, in the case of a domain with the extension .com, the grace period is 42 days, while domains with .es extensions do not have this period.[/et_pb_text]

What will happen if I renew my domain during the grace period?

If you complete the domain renewal during this phase you will have to wait a few hours and it will work again without any problem. Our recommendation is always to renew before the expiration date to avoid interruptions in the domain’s operation.

What if I can’t complete the domain renewal?

If during the days that the Renew Grace Period lasts you do not manage to complete the renewal, then the domain will begin the second phase of its life cycle, we refer to the punishment period in which you will have to pay a penalty.
