Domain name registration period

Domain names are registered for fixed periods of time. In order to continue using a domain name, the registrant must pay for its renewal before the registration expiration date. Renewal is available throughout the domain registration period, provided that after renewal the maximum registration period, which is set by the administrator of the respective zone, is not exceeded. Renewal is performed at the price that will be in effect at the time of renewal and may be different from the price in effect at the time of initial domain registration.

If the automatic renewal option is not enabled for a domain, notifications of registration expiration will be sent to the domain registrant\'s contact email address starting 30 days prior to the end of the registration period. Failure to receive the notice shall not relieve the registrant of the obligation to renew the domain name in a timely manner.

On the day of domain registration expiration, the domain is transferred to Client Hold status and excluded from DNS (website, e-mail and other services stop working). If technically feasible and supported by the zone administrator, we may, but are not obliged to, provide registrants with additional “grace period” to renew the domain after the registration expires. The duration of the grace period is usually 27 days (may or may not be different in different zones). Once the grace period expires, the domain is deleted. With this in mind, to avoid unintentional domain deletion, we recommend renewing domain names in advance.

Redemption Grace Period

Some domain zone administrators provide an opportunity to recover a domain after its deletion during the so-called Redemption Grace Period, which is usually 30 days. The cost of recovery during this period is usually much higher than the normal renewal cost and can be found on the following page https://www.ukraine.com.ua/domains/prices/

In case the domain has not been restored during the Redemption Grace Period, the renewal option is blocked and after 5 days the domain becomes available for re-registration.

Automatic renewal

By default, automatic renewal of domains and other services is disabled. To use this feature, you need to activate it on the page https://adm.tools/invoice/serviceauto/ 

If auto-renewal is enabled, the domain will be renewed for 1 year 10 days prior to the expiration of its registration period; payment for this operation will be deducted from the client\'s personal balance in the amount equal to the current renewal price in the respective zone. If the amount on the balance is insufficient for domain renewal, the registrant will be notified about it and the domain will be further processed as if auto-renewal was disabled.

Special circumstances

Registrar reserves the right not to delete a domain after the registration expiration date in the following cases: if there is a UDRP dispute, by court order, if the renewal process fails, if the domain is used as a nameserver for third parties, if the registrant is going through bankruptcy proceedings, if there is a dispute regarding the receipt or amount of payment, if the domain is the subject of litigation, in other ICANN-approved circumstances.

For domain names that are registered through partners, partner deletion policies and procedures apply. We recommend that you transfer the domain to our direct service to eliminate the impact of this factor. You can transfer a domain to direct service when you renew it.
