How to Recover an Expired Domain

You can recover your domain name within 30 days of deactivation.

You can lose your domain name for several reasons. Occasionally, it may be revoked if you host companies that are deemed unethical. Sometimes, a webmaster might not re-register your domain name when it is time to do so. Fortunately, there are ways to recover your domain name. If your domain is registered for 10 years, you will greatly reduce or eliminate the chance of needing to recover it. You have 30 days to recover the domain after it has been deactivated.

Instructions

1. Access your account manager and type in your access codes. Click "Domain Manager" in the "My Products" section.

2. Select "Recover Expired Domains." Choose your domain name that you want recovered.

3. Choose "Recover." Select a renewal length and then click "Next." Click "Next" again, or choose registration and website options to use with the domain name renewal. Click "Next."
