Since domains have an expiration date, they go through a lifecycle with several phases or periods. This lifecycle is established by ICANN, the entity responsible for domain-related regulations. In the following graphic, we show you the lifecycle of a .pw domain and its states.
- Available domain: the domain has not yet been registered, therefore it is free for registration. When a registration request is submitted, it will be assigned to the first request received.
- Registered domain: when a request is submitted for an available domain, it is assigned to the person who requested it. When submitting a registration request, it is requested for a number of years, which can be from 1 to 10 years.
- Active domain: the domain will be active for the years for which it was registered. During this period, the number of years can be extended starting 2 months before the expiration date.
- Grace period: grace period: the domain has expired and stops working. This period lasts 44 days and you can renew the domain without penalty fees.
- Redemption period: redemption period: this period lasts 30 days, during which the domain has been deleted but can be restored and renewed at a higher price than regular renewal.
- Pending delete period: pending delete: the domain cannot be restored and will be released.
