Expired Auctions

• Is the domain I won in the Expired Auction renewed?

  Yes, the expiration date is extended by one year when you win a domain through our Expired Auction. For instance, if the domain expired on February 1, 2018, the new expiration date would be February 1, 2019.

• If I win a domain in the Expired Auction, does the creation date change?

  No, the creation date for a domain won in our Expired Auction would not change as it is not a newly registered domain, meaning it was not released from the central registry and registered as a brand-new registration. For instance, if a domain was registered (created) on February 1, 2015, the creation date would remain February 1, 2015.

• How do I place a bid on an Expired Domain Auction?

Click on the "Confirm" button on the pop-up window to confirm your bid and that you will pay for this auction if you win. NOTE: There are some requirements to participate in our Expired Domain Auctions. Winning a domain in our Expired Auctions does not guarantee that your order will not be cancelled.

There is no limit to the number of times an auction may be extended before the auction's final "end time" is set.
