Which domains are recommended to enable a reservation for?
We recommend enabling a reservation for valuable domains. Short, euphonious names are tracked by those interested in reselling them and intercepted immediately after deletion. To return the domain, you will need to negotiate with the new owner about the purchase. Its cost can reach hundreds of thousands of rubles.
If the reservation option is enabled, the domain will not be deleted after the end of the preferential renewal period, and the administrator will have 30 additional days to restore it.
What happens to the domain after the end of the preferential renewal period?
If the administrator does not renew the domain within 30 days of preferential renewal, then:
- With the reservation option enabled, the administrator has an additional 30 days to restore the domain. During this time, the status page continues to be displayed on the domain, and changes to the domain settings are not available. The administrator can order domain restoration on the domain page in his personal account. If it is paid within 30 days, the NS installed before the end of the registration period will be returned to the domain — the website on the domain will work again, and the domain will be available for management in your personal account. In case of non-payment for restoration, the right to administer the domain is lost based on a written request from the domain administrator. This written request (application) is published on the domain's page in your personal account.
- If the reservation option is not enabled for the domain, it is deleted on a first-come, first-served basis and becomes available for registration.
What is the domain recovery period?
