Domain Name Quarantine and Recovery
For certain domain extensions, a domain enters a quarantine period once it has been canceled. During this quarantine:
The domain cannot be registered by others.
The domain can usually be recovered for a fee.
The domain will no longer function.
The domain remains registered and is exclusively available for recovery by the original owner.
Important:
The above prices are exclusive of 21% VAT and are indicative. Please contact us for the latest rates or for extensions not listed.
If your domain is in quarantine, you have the following options:
Renew it with your current provider and then initiate a transfer (additional costs may apply).
Wait for the domain to fully expire and try to register it again (risk: someone else might register it first).
⚠️ Keep in mind: for certain extensions like .com, there is a 90-day transfer lock after recovery.
