Monitoring and Analysis Tools for Expired Domain Names

Every day, more than a hundred thousand domain names, some of them of high quality, are not renewed by their owners and are said to have expired. From this date, a period called "grace period" begins - 30 days for gTLD and most ccTLD- during which it is possible to reactivate the domain name, sometimes at an additional cost. After this period, the domain name can no longer be renewed. It then enters a process, the duration and phases of which vary depending on whether it is a generic or geographical extension, and which ends with its deletion. It can then be registered again on a first-come, first-served basis.
