I forgot to re-register my domain name - it just expired. I heard that there was a domain name redemption period, in which I still have time to renew my domain? I'm not sure how this works, however, or if there's an extra fee?

Domain Redemption Period?

Here's how the domain expiration timeline works, in a nutshell:
- After one year from the date of registration, a domain expires and enters the redemption period.
- It stays in the domain redemption period for 30 days. During this time, a domain owner can still renew their domain name, usually for an additional fee (we've seen the fee range from $50 up to several hundred, depending on the registrar)
- After the 30 day redemption period, a domain enters a 5 day pending delete phase. During the pending delete phase, the domain is not accessible by anyone. During these 5 days the domain goes into the process of being returned for public registration. After the 5 day period, anyone can register it.
We should point out that some registrars (such as Fabulous.com) are putting domains in the redemption period into a DDN network where they may be purchased by buyers, with your authorization, before they enter the pending delete phase). Normally the registrar splits the proceed of a sale with the domain owner.
