When does a domain name reach its expiration?

A domain name is the address used to identify a website on the internet. When a domain name is registered, the owner is given a period of time to use it. This period of time is called the registration period. Domain names can be registered for a period of one to ten years. After the registration period has ended, the domain name will expire and become available for registration again. The owner of the domain name will receive several notices before the expiration date, reminding them to renew the registration if they want to keep the domain name. If the owner does not renew the registration, the domain name will become available for registration by anyone.

The length of time a domain name is registered for is determined by the owner. Most domain names are registered for one to three years. If the owner wants to keep the domain name, they must renew the registration before it expires. If they do not, they may lose the domain name to someone else. Once a domain name has expired, it can take up to 45 days for it to become available for registration again.
