Domain Status Redemption Period – What Does It Mean?

· Updated November 9, 2026

A domain may be deleted from the registrar's database if it was not renewed within the allowed period (usually 1 month) after its registration expired. In Ukraine, as in most international zones, such domains get the Redemption Period status. You cannot perform any operations with a domain in this status; all functions are blocked.
The only available operation is domain restoration.

The owner can, of course, restore the domain, but this procedure usually costs five to ten times more than a standard domain renewal.

A domain usually stays in the Redemption Period status for one month, after which it is deleted permanently and anyone at all can register it.

To avoid such problems with your website, use the services of professionals. UkrHost has been successfully providing hosting services in Ukraine for several years.
