Once a domain name is deleted, it would generally slip into the Redemption Period ONLY under the following circumstances:

manual deletion of domain name by contacting Wifi4india Technical SupportSystem deletion of domain name post Expiry of the Renewal Grace Period and the domain name does not have any backorder against it.

In all other cases, a deleted domain name cannot be Renewed/Restored/Redeemed.

Redeeming a domain name is costly, time consuming and generally a manual process. The Redemption Period is generally of 30 days after the domain name is deleted and during this period, only the current Registrar of the domain name can Redeem the domain name.
