# 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.

### 🌐 Moving a Domain Out of Quarantine

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.
