How do I restore my domain in redemption period?
If your domain's renewal grace period has already passed, you may still be able to restore it from the "Inactive Domains" page in your Dynadot account. A restore is not guaranteed, costs more than a renewal, and is usually only possible for about 30 days after the renewal grace period ends.
If the grace renewal period of your domain has already passed, you may still be able to restore the domain. Unfortunately, this is not guaranteed and will cost more because the domain has already been deleted.
How to restore your domain
- Sign in to your Dynadot account.
- Select "My Domains" from the left-side menu bar and click on "Inactive Domains" from the drop-down.
- Check the box next to the domain name(s) you wish to restore. If the domain name(s) do not have a checkbox next to them, they cannot be restored.
- Click on the "Restore" button. The domain(s) will be added to your shopping cart at the top right-side of the page.
- Click on your shopping cart to access the item(s) in your cart.
- Press the "Check Out" buttons to submit your restore order.
How long you have to restore your domain
In most cases, a restore can be done within 30 days (the typical redemption period of most domain extensions) after the renewal grace period (typically 30 days) has ended. Domains are extended by one year upon restore.
When a domain cannot be restored
- No checkbox: If the domain does not have a checkbox next to it on the "Inactive Domains" page, it cannot be restored.
- Bid received in an expired auction: Sometimes a domain has received a bid in our expired auctions and as a result, it cannot be restored.

Note:
A restore order can take up to 24 hours to process.
