143
-
>> If it is a generic domain name (.com, .org, .net, etc.), it remains reserved for a "grace period" (approximately 7 days), followed by a "redemption period" (approximately 35 to 40 additional days). These delays vary, and depend on the extension and the rules of the registry that owns the extension. During these two periods, only you will be able to renew the domain name.
144
-
>> During the grace period, you can renew it via the OVHcloud Control Panel by following the steps in this guide.
145
-
>> During the redemption period, the domain is no longer managed by OVHcloud. Renewal via the OVHcloud Control Panel will incur an additional fee, which vary depending on the extension. View prices by clicking on the extension concerned [here](/links/web/domains-tld).
146
-
>> After the redemption period, the domain name will enter a deletion phase that can take several days, before becoming public again. If you would like to use it again, we recommend using the [WHOIS domain name tool](https://www.ovhcloud.com/en-gb/domains/whois/) to check its availability regularly.
