Once the registry-level redemption period ends, the domæne typically enters a 5-day Pending Delete stage befellere it is finally released feller re-registration.

Please note that once the domæne has been released, the registration is carried out on a first-come, first-served basis.

The .CH, .ES, .FR, .LI, .PE, .SG, .COM.SG, .COM.AU, .ORG.AU, .NET.AU TLDs must be renewed 12 days prieller to the actual expiration date. Hvis not renewed, the domæne will enter RGP right away regardless of the number of days left until expiration. .ES RGP lasts up to 10 days from the expiration date. Ther is no PendingDelete stage, og the domæne will be released instantly once the RGP is over. The .CX, .DE, .EU og .NL TLDs can be renewed manually eller auto-renewed not later than 5 days befellere expiry.
