Once the domain expires it is put on Registrar-Hold for 40 days, the registrant may renew the domain during this phase with the current reseller or any other OpenSRS RSP. After the 40 days, we send the domain to the registry where the redemption period kicks in for 30 days, if the customer still wants the domain, the owner may contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] to revive the account. Some companies can monitor this domain for a fee, OpenSRS does not offer these services.

Finally we have noticed that its status is: Status: REGISTRAR-HOLD. The registrar is opensrs, of course. > My question is : Can this status be due to not reaching the registrant for renewal? For how long is this status mantained? Can we apply for this domain in case the domainis not renewed? > Thanks in advance for your help > Inaki Arriba >
