question Expired domain. How many days before $80?

[WhoaDomain.com]

So had a bunch of domains expire. There was an issue with the card.


So they tell me yea yea it's "recoverable" .....sureeeeeee! @$80 a pop!

They said I only had 18 days "window of opportunity" to renew normally.

I misunderstood thinking I had 45 days.

Why did I think this??! Is 45 days the time for something else?

I think my other domains also expired over at another registration ( same card issue).

That registrar I think if I remember correctly said I had 45 days.

Did this other registrar change their grace period?

I do recall with with this "problem" registrar that they give you 45 days to delete domains you autorenewed for full refund.

Could that have confused me?

The domains are with a GoDaddy reseller.

Can someone clarify this for me?

I'm assuming these time frames are the same with all registrars.

I have a scheduled phone call with the rep later today.

He said he will work out a deal for the domains that expired past the 18 days.

With a "significant" discount.

Now I wonder how much "discount" from $80 can there be?

I bet it will be $50? I'd be happy with $20 but probably going to be $30-$40.

Any advice ?

Did different registrar's have different redemption periods?

 

[DnFolk]

Lol @Avtar629 you didnt unlock and expected to get authorization code, WTF.

 

[WhoaDomain.com]

well I didn't know! wtf I look like? the Einstein of Domaining?

lol

ok so did that. Still no email with my auth codes?

you guys think it's this System Update BS they are saying is the cause? or are they just trying to run down the time so my domains will delete?

should I contact them back and have them manually send me the auth codes? they can do that manually right? all registrars should right? whats preventing them from doing so besides trying to steal my domains?


also update. got into my NameSilo account. looks cool. never really had my domains in there.

by the way. not sure if I did that 2FA bs with this CheapDomain account. Could THAT be causing the issue with getting the auth codes?

 

[DnFolk]

How much time since there has been no email? Yes call and tell them that you want Authorization codes right now, if they talk about system BS, then ask how much time will it take and show your dissatisfication, question that none of your customer can get authoriation codes? are you sure? take them for a task, follow up on the time they claim it will take for the system update or whatever excuse they are trying to give. I am quite sure it will be resolved.

 

[Michael Daigle]

Depending how many names you have at godaddy, they may give you a break after 18 days and renew for $20 plus registration fee. I've done this many times, even when there were auction bids on the names.

Good to know that I have the option to transfer out to either name.com or Namesilo.

they were saying call tomorrow???/ hmmmm I don't trust it

 

[DnFolk]

they were saying call tomorrow???/ hmmmm I don't trust it

what reason did they gave? anyways wait for one day, dont listen to any excuse and be clear that you want authorization codes right at the moment you get them on call, dont appear as naive, make sure they know that you are aware that you can transfer the domains legitly, dont sound confused, be confident when you are talking with them. and you shall easily be able to get the codes.

PS every few hours you can keep trying to get authorization codes after unlocking. it may work randomly.

Thanks. I've got all night.

 

[italsat]

in some time , i need request 2 or 3 time for receive auth code from godaddy , i think that the system not like it .

In your case , your unique solution is transfer out the domains .

I transfer many domains out in this 40 days after expired data , now dynadot have copy godaddy and apply a $10 fee after +/- 20 days .

Need transfer out at other registrar for not pay any redemption fee at your registrar. ( I think , this fee , many endusers with 1-2 domains can pay it when not remember to renew the domains in the first days after expired data )

 

[boziffous]

didnt matter for me as i was able to transfer successfully..



follow the below steps

1. Log into your account.
2. Next to Domains click Manage.
3. From the Domains menu, select Expired Domains. You should see these names listed here.
4. Unlock the domains (hover your cursor over the green check marks and click to edit/change to unlock).
5. Select the domain you want to transfer out and then click Email Authorization.
6. you will receive transfer code in the email

Exactly what @DnFolk said here.

There was a similar thread to this one posted a couple months back.

@Avtar629 - you don't have to wait for the Auth Codes to be emailed if you do the "Export List" - you can just download it. The email notifying that it's ready seems to take hours, sometimes I never even get the email

From here - https://dcc.godaddy.com/dcc50/
on the upper part, the little yellow button with a plus sign that says "More", choose "Export List"

Name it something clear like - August 5 export auth codes

Then choose what to export, and make sure to check box "Auth Codes" and create your list.

Wait a minute, choose "More" then "Manage Exportable Lists" and you should be able to download it, if it isn't showing try again in a few minutes

Did a test earlier and exported five domains with Auth Codes, waited one minute the clicked "Manage Exportable Lists" and it was ready to download right away

Still no email an hour later

Export List

And yes they are legit having slowness issues today

 

[siddardha]

After you get the auth codes, checkout LCN.com for the transfer rate
I think its the cheapest for transfers

 

[WhoaDomain.com]

can do bulk? what's the max limit? and thanks!

Edit:

while we're at it.

ANY GOOD REGISTRARS WITH CHEAP BULK TRANSFERS?

 

[1Darko]

@Avtar629 Did you get the auth codes? Keep us updated!

 

[WhoaDomain.com]

I wonder. can you sell an expired domain to someone outside of say the usual marketplaces?

I mean I just got my whole list of auth codes finally.

lol since they were updating. (glad that wasn't BS)

I had requested a dozen times so now I have 12 requests for auth codes coming at my inbox for all the same domains.

I wonder now which ones to use? the latest ones I'm guessing?

 

[1Darko]

the latest one

 

[1Darko]

PM me a list of the domains - maybe something interesting for me!?

https://www.godaddy.com/help/what-happens-after-domain-names-expire-6700

What happens after domain names expire?
Once a domain name expires, it goes through many stages before being released to the open market. GoDaddy sends five renewal emails to the GoDaddy account owner prior to the expiration date. Below is a timeline based on .com domain names.

These timelines do not apply to ccTLD domain names.

Days after expiration Action
Day 1 We make the first of three billing attempts to renew the domain name.
Day 5 We make the second billing attempt. If the billing fails on the day of, or auto renew fails, the domain name expires and is immediately set to parking. The domain can be renewed by the registrant at no extra cost.
Day 12 We make the third and final attempt to renew the domain name. The domain name can still be renewable by the registrant at no extra cost.
Day 19 The domain name can be renewed by the registrant for the cost of a one-year renewal plus an $80.00 redemption fee.
Day 26 We add the domain name to an expired domain name auction.
Day 36 The expired domain name auction ends. If there are no backorders and no bidders in the expired domain name auction, we list the domain name in a closeout auction.
Day 41 The closeout auction ends.
Day 43 We assign the domain name to the winner of the expired domain name auction, backorder, or closeout. If there are no bidders, we return the domain name to the registry.
A registrant can renew an expired domain name at no extra cost up to day 18. If they renew an expired domain name anytime between day 19 and day 42, they must also pay an $80.00 redemption fee. The domain name might not be available for renewal after day 42.

Can I renew my domain name after it expires?
In many cases, yes. It depends upon your domain name's extension and its registry rules.

If the registry for your domain name extension allows it, we hold your expired domain name for a few days waiting for you to renew it. For many domain name extensions (such as .com, .net, and .org) there is a grace period allowing you to renew the domain name after expiration without penalty. After the grace period for these extensions, you must pay a redemption fee plus the cost of regular renewal if you want to keep the domain name.

For some domain name extensions, primarily country code (ccTLD) extensions, there is no grace period. Once the domain name expires, you must pay a redemption fee plus renewal to keep the domain name.

Our Process for Handling Expired Domain Names
The process we, the registrar, follow for expired domain names depends on your domain name extensions and their renewal settings. Prior to expiration, we send multiple emails to remind you to renew your domain names.

If you set your domain names to automatically renew, we attempt to renew the registrations for you the day after expiration. If we are unable to bill you due to changes in your account, we park your expired domain names and notify you via email again.

If you have recently updated your credit or debit card, you can change your payment method for auto-renew. You can also change your contact info at any time to ensure that auto-renew works seamlessly.

If you set your domain names to manually renew and you let your domain names expire, we park your expired domain names and notify you via email again the day after expiration.

For expired .com, .net, .org, .info, .biz, .us, .ws, .name, .cc, .mobi, .me, or .tv domain name registrations, we hold your domain name for approximately 42 days before canceling it. Domain name renewal during this period is subject to applicable renewal and redemption fees. For more information, see What happens after domain names expire? and Recovering Expired Domain Names.

Automatic Renewal
If you set the domain name to automatic renewal, when your domain name registration expires, we take the following steps before canceling it:

• On the day after your domain name registration's expiration date, we attempt to bill you for the domain name renewal. If we cannot renew the domain name (for example, your card on file expired), we notify you of the domain name registration's expiration and park your domain name. You can manually renew your domain name.
• On the 5th day after expiration, we email you additional notifications. You can manually renew your domain name.
• On the 12th day after expiration, your domain name remains on hold but becomes subject to a redemption fee. You can call customer support to renew your domain name, subject to any applicable renewal and redemption fees.
• On the 25th day after expiration, we put your domain name up for auction with a domain name industry auction service. You can manually renew your domain name, subject to any applicable renewal and redemption fees.
• On the 42nd day after expiration, we cancel your domain name. We delete all services associated with the domain name.

The registry might hold the domain name before releasing it for general registration.

Manual Renewal
If you did not set your domain names to automatically renew, when your domain name registration expires, we proceed with the following steps before canceling it:

• On the day after your domain name registration's expiration date, we notify you of the domain name registration's expiration and park your domain name. You can manually renew your domain name.
• On the 5th day after expiration, we email you additional notifications. You can manually renew your domain name.
• On the 12th day after expiration, your domain name remains on hold but becomes subject to a redemption fee. You can manually renew your domain name, subject to any applicable renewal and redemption fees.
• On the 25th day after expiration, we put your domain name up for auction with a domain name industry auction service. You can manually renew your domain name, subject to any applicable renewal and redemption fees.
• On the 42nd day after expiration, we cancel your domain name. We delete all services associated with the domain name.

in some time , i need request 2 or 3 time for receive auth code from godaddy , i think that the system not like it .

In your case , your unique solution is transfer out the domains .

I transfer many domains out in this 40 days after expired data , now dynadot have copy godaddy and apply a $10 fee after +/- 20 days .

Dynadot charge you an extra $10 after 30 days. And you can still renew/transfer the domain up to 40 days (when it's taken out of your account).
