Renew domain expired more than 42 days ago

Question

Renew domain expired more than 42 days ago

Ezmond-8956 0

I have an App service domain that expired 44 days ago. How can I renew it today without waiting the 60 days? I say the following Microsoft documentation.

If the automatic renewal option wasn't enabled for the domain and it's now expired, you have the following options:

For the first four days, there will be no impact.
On the fifth day, DNS records will be removed. The domain name will be redirected to a parked website.
Before the eighteenth day, we can renew the domain at the regular price.
Starting the eighteenth day to forty-second day, you may redeem your domain but would need to pay a redemption fee and domain renewal fee.
From the forty-second day to the sixtieth day, there will be an auction for the domain and any other registrar will be able to bid a higher value for the domain and buy it from GoDaddy.
After 60 days, the domain can be repurchased (if available).

Hi Ezmond-8956,
Welcome to MS Q&A platform,
If your App Service domain expired 44 days ago, you are now in the auction phase, which lasts from day 42 to day 60. During this time, other registrars can bid on your domain, and it might be purchased by someone else. To regain ownership, you will need to wait until the auction period ends. After day 60, if the domain is still available, you can repurchase it.
Let mi know if you have any further assistances.

Hi Ezmond-8956,
Thankyou for your Response.
Domain Renewal After Expiry (44 days ago) Your domain has entered the auction phase (day 42–60), so direct renewal isn't an option anymore. During this time, others can bid on your domain.

Your domain might be listed in GoDaddy Auctions.

You can bid on your domain to secure it before the auction ends.

Visit GoDaddy Auctions and search for your domain.

Sometimes, GoDaddy can help with early recovery if you contact support quickly.

Reach out to GoDaddy customer service to ask about this option.

If the domain isn't bought in the auction, it will become available for regular purchase after the auction period (day 60).

You can repurchase it at the regular renewal rate if it's still available.

If the domain is important for your business, check the GoDaddy Auctions right away and place a bid. Otherwise, you can buy it after day 60 if it's still unclaimed.

Alright, mate! So, your App Service domain has been expired for 44 days, and you’re stuck in the "redemption period" am I right?

You’re past the 18-day grace period, so you can’t renew it at the standard price anymore. Bummer.

You’re also past the 42-day mark, meaning your domain is now in the "auction phase." Other registrars (like GoDaddy) can swoop in and bid on it. Yikes! But don’t panic! You can still redeem it before the 60-day mark. You’ll need to pay a redemption fee (extra cash, sorry) plus the renewal fee.save your domain log into your Azure portal. Head to your App Service domain settings. Look for the option to redeem the domain and follow the prompts.If you’re quick, you can still grab it back before it goes to auction or gets snapped up by someone else. Fingers crossed!

regds,

Alex

I attempted this solution, but there was no option to redeem the domain. In fact the overview and domain renewal pages had 404 errors.

Hi Ezmond-8956,

In addition to Alex Burlachenko response,

The 404 errors on the overview and domain renewal pages likely indicate that the domain has moved fully into the auction phase or that its status is no longer managed through Azure. This sometimes happens when the domain is transitioned to GoDaddy's control for auction or redemption.

Since App Service domains are managed by GoDaddy, reach out to GoDaddy Support and provide them with the domain name and explain the situation. They may be able to help you redeem the domain manually or guide you on the next steps.

If you have a GoDaddy account linked to your Azure domain purchase, log in and see if the domain is listed there. Sometimes expired domains are accessible directly from the GoDaddy dashboard.

Re-check GoDaddy auction to see if the domain is listed for bidding.

Only possible way to re-own our domain is mentioned above. If you have any further assistant, do let me know.
