Recover and renew domain that's in hold status

Bram 0

Our domain forecastww.com did not auto renew, may have been our fault however we are trying to recover the domain as it is currently in "hold" status. It doesn't seem like I can lift it out of this status by myself, so will need help with this. Thank you so much.

Hi @Bram

Thank you for posting your question on Q&A.

You mentioned that your domain forecastww.com did not auto-renew and is currently in a “hold” status, and you are looking for assistance to recover it.

For most domains, registrars send multiple email notifications about expiration within the 30 days prior and 30 days after the expiration date. If auto-renew was enabled, renewal attempts are typically made on the day of expiration and again about 12 days after expiration for most domains.

Since the domain is now in “hold” status, the domain is in the redemption period. Keep an eye on any emails from your registrar or related services, as they may include important instructions or additional requirements for restoring your domain.

Feel free to post back if you need additional assistance.
