If your name expires without your renewal, we place your domain in an inactive protected status for up to 12 months. This protected status keeps the domain in your name; however, it does not keep your related services (such as hosting and email) up and running should your domain name renewal lapse.

You can rescue the domain while it is in this inactive, protected status for the cost of domain name renewal.
