The part that has been substantially updated is the display field of the domains' status. Unlike the previous version of the Domain Manager, this section now contains up-to-date information about the current status of each domain name, as well as extended administration options. Four new types of domain name status have been added and will be displayed with an according type icon if a particular domain name has fallen into one of those groups. The type icons will be opening a tooltip with more detailed explanation about the particular status. From the Expiration/Renewal column of your Domain Manager you can open another tooltip providing option for according domain action.

Redemption period - a period of up to 30 days after a domain name's expiration. During this period the domain name owner can retrieve the domain name from deletion and renew it against a small redemption fee. Automatic renewal option will be displayed in the Domain Manager in such cases, while the amount of the redemption fee will be added to the renewal price of the domain name. If you open a tooltip from the Expiration/Renewal column of a domain name in RGP (Redemption Registration Period), you will be given the opportunity to retrieve the domain name and renew it.

Extended redemption period - a period of another 7 - 30 days when the domain name can be retrieved from deletion and renewed. The renewal however cannot be automatic in this period and the domain name owner should contact our supports team with renewal request. Open support ticket option will be displayed in the domain tooltip opened from the Expiration/Renewal column of the Domain Manager.

Pending delete period - this is rather informative than requiring any action, since during this period the domain name can be neither retrieved, nor renewed. It only shows that the domain has been blocked by its Registry and will be returned in 3 - 5 days back into the public pool of domain names.

Released from registry - this status shows that the domain name is now publicly available for registration. An option will be provided in the respective Expiration/Renewal Domain Manager field with registration of the domain name preserving its old WHOIS information. Also, in the case that the domain name has been already taken, an option with new domain name registration will be available.

We hope that the new update will please all our web hosting customers and will further facilitate the administration of their accounts.
