After a domain expires, it will be available for registration by anybody. If you wish to retain your domain, it is recommended to renew as early as possible in order to prevent a disruption is service and possible loss of your domain name. If you have auto renew switched on, we will process the automatic renewal up to 3 days prior to expiry and take payment automatically, please ensure your payment details are up to date.
In the rare event that you do forget to renew your domain name and someone else renews it, there is very little you can do to recover it. In some cases, the new registrant may be willing to sell the domain.
Alternatives to buying back a domain are to register the same under with a different TLD (www.yourDomain.net instead of www.yourDomain.com)
