Domain Deletion and Renewal Policy
Last updated: January 2025
Domain names are registered for a specific period and are subject to renewal.
Domain Name Renewal
If a client has chosen our "auto-renewal" option for a domain name, we will attempt to automatically renew the domain name using the payment methods registered for the account. Automatic renewal will be processed a few days before the domain name expiration date.
If a client has not chosen our "auto-renewal" option for a domain name, we will send several email notifications to warn them that their domain name will expire on a certain date. If a client does not renew the domain name before the expiration date, Ogur will delete the domain after that date.
Notifications are sent at D-30, D-15, D-7, D-3, and D-1 via email.
Domain Name Deletion
As defined in ICANN policy (§3.7.5), in the absence of mitigating circumstances, a domain name must be deleted within 45 days from the termination of a registration agreement by the registrar or by the domain name holder who terminates it.
In an effort to help our clients avoid the accidental deletion of their registered domain names, the maximum possible grace period is 45 days after the expiration date, to allow for the renewal of domain name registration services. During this period, a client may renew a domain name registration, but this grace period is not guaranteed and may be changed or removed at any time without notice.
Therefore, each client who wishes to renew their domain name must do so in advance of the expiration date, in order to avoid any involuntary deletion of their services.
If an expired domain name is not renewed, as indicated above, in the absence of mitigating circumstances, the domain will be deleted.
It will then be in "Pending Delete" status for an additional five days, after which it will be deleted and the domain name string will again be available for registration.
