Depending on the registrar, expired domains can work temporarily during a short grace period, but websites and related services linked to an expired domain often stop functioning shortly after expiration. Renew before the expiry to avoid disruption.

Q

What happens after a domain expires

A

Once a domain expires, it typically enters a grace period (around 30-60 days). During this time, the owner can still renew it. If not renewed, it moves into a redemption phase and may eventually be released to the public for re-registration. This is when the domain and any connected services will stop working.
