What is Grace delete?

DonQuijote · 02-10-2010, 07:10 AM

Hello!

What is "grace delete", and how this can be used?
Can I have my money back after grace deletion?
Is grace delete possible on all zones?

Thank you in advance for replies.

When domain tasting was still allowed, one could, within 5 days of registration, request deletion of the domain for a full refund. Originally, this was allowed for errors in registration, such as misspelling of a word.

However, like all good things, it was abused by domain tasters who would register a domain, test it out on a parking page, and then grace delete it.

"Grace delete" has been now greatly curtailed to stop domain tasting.

I suppose some registrars will still allow a few obvious errors to be deleted--I believe that there is a percentage allowable for each registrar.

If you made a registration mistake, you can always query your registrar, who may allow you to grace delete for at least a partial refund.

Who besides dynadot.com provides this service?

Don't all registrars offer a limited number of grace deletes per month (as mandated by ICANN)?

If so, you may have to call or email.

Even at Dynadot, grace deletes are not guaranteed--once they hit their limit, that's it.

In what other domain registrars are removing a panel (like Dynadot)? And not through the Support?

I've grace-deleted domains from GoDaddy for a long time. I still manage to but I only do so when I really need it.
