6) Redemption period for .com domain names that have been expired over 30 days.

Should your domain name expire it is possible it will enter the 'redemption period' state.  This generally occurs to domain names that are more than 30 days expired.  The domain name can be removed from this state for a fee.  This includes a mandatory fee to the domain registry and a two year renewal of the domain name with 34SP.com.

The registry fee is charged by the top level registry for releasing the domain from this state and is not set by 34SP.com.  This fee is out of our hands and is non-negotiable.  The only fee we take is for the renewal of the domain, at our standard prices.

If you choose to wait until this period passes, the domain will enter a state known as 'pending delete' after 90 from expiry.  It then cannot be renewed for a further 5 days.  It will finally return to the public domain where it can be purchased as new.

If you choose to wait for the domain to be released, you should be aware of the domain speculation market.  Some companies automatically register domain names they believe to have value, the very moment the domain is released back into the public domain.  It is then common practice to resell the domain at an inflated price
