What happens if I let my domain name expire?

If you let a domain name expire, it will no longer be registered to you and will become available for anyone to register. This means that other people or businesses may be able to register and use the domain name, potentially for their own website or email.

When a domain name expires, it typically goes through several stages before it becomes available for re-registration. These stages usually include a "grace period" during which the domain name's owner can renew the domain name without incurring additional fees, followed by a "redemption period" during which the domain name's owner can still renew the domain name, but with a higher fee. After the redemption period, the domain name will typically enter a "pending delete" stage, during which it will no longer be accessible on the internet. Finally, the domain name will be deleted and will become available for re-registration.

If you let your domain name expire and it is not renewed, you may lose your website and any email associated with the domain name. You may also lose any search engine rankings or online credibility that you have built up using the domain name. It's important to keep track of your domain name's expiration date and renew it before it expires to avoid these potential issues.
