Dynadot reducing their renewal grace period by 10 days

March 14, 2017 by Raymond Hackney

Dynadot sent out an email regarding their grace period policy. They are shaving 10 days off their previous 40 day grace period to a 30 day grace period.

You will have to pay $10 additional if you renew in the final 10 days of that TLD’s renewal grace period.

This notice is to inform you of an update to our renewal grace period policy. As you know, with many top-level domains (TLDs), we give you up to a 40 day grace renewal period that allows you to renew your domain at the same price after it has expired. Starting April 15 00:00 UTC, we will be reducing this period by 10 days for each TLD. During the final 10 days of the TLD’s renewal grace period, you will still be able to renew your domain, but with an additional late renewal fee of $10.

For example, if you own a .COM domain that expires on January 1, 2018, you would be able to renew your domain at the regular renewal price until January 30, 2018. After this date and until the domain is deleted on February 9, 2018, you would be charged a $10 late renewal fee, so your total renewal cost would be $20.99 ($10 fee + $10.99 regular renewal price).

Please note that we do start sending renewal notices out 60 days in advance of your expiration date. We recommend you keep your account email up-to-date to ensure you receive these messages. We also offer the option to set a different renewal email address and set your domains to auto-renew.

If you have any questions, please email us at info@dynadot.com.

Best,
Team Dynadot

    I think this is fair. Many people were using the auctions as a free appraisal and renewing right after. Now those people can get a $10 auction appraisal, essentially.

      EXACTLY.

      I can’t tell you how many auctions I’ve almost “won”, to have the domain yanked at the last minute due to renewal. Good move by Dynadot.

    Ok their 40 day saved me a valuable domain on the 39th day ,but I guess they want to take advantage of the dropping program,10 bucks is not bad after being raped by blowdaddy

    I personally think that this is the wrong time to do this and they will lose business of domainers.

    Pretty fair fee imo and not a big deal. Dynadot is an honest, fair, and trustworthy registrar.
