Non-refundable services
  • All upgrades and additional services (ip, traffic).
  • Domain registrations, renewals and transfers, purchased from DapDomains Control Panel.

Domain removal and auto renewal Policy


Domains are registered for a specific period of time and can be renewed.

We notify our clients about the ending date of their domain registration via email. A notification email is sent to domain's owner several times before the prepaid period ends and one time after domain's expiration.

We will notify the clients 30, 14, 7 days and each following day prior to domain's expiration as well as one time within 10 days after domain's expiration. The notification letter will include instructions about domain's renewal.

If the client won't renew the domain before its expiration date, domain can be deleted any time after the expiration date.

If the client has activated the "auto renewal" option, domain will be renewed for one year within 30 days before the prepaid period ends, considering there are enough funds on client's balance.

We tend to help our clients avoid accidental domain removing and because of that can but aren't obliged to offer AutoRenew Grace Period after the expiration of domain's renewal time.

AutoRenew Grace Period starts the next day after domain's expiration date.

At the moment we are trying to offer a grace period that lasts 35 days after domain expiration date. During this time clients can renew their domains.

The grace period is not guaranteed and can be changed or terminated at any time without any notification. Thus, to avoid domain cancellation, every client who wants to renew the domain should do that before it expires.

In case the domain is not renewed during the AutoRenew Grace Period, as stated above, we will be forced to cancel domain registration.

However, domain registrars may offer a service of restoring client's deleted domain. In our turn we can but are not obliged to offer our clients the possibility of restoring the deleted domain.

Such Redemption Grace Period — RGP is not guaranteed or mandatory. At the moment, domain catalogues provide restoring services for domains that are deleted not later than 30 days. If there's a technical possibility of restoring the domain name, the cost of such service is $100 plus the cost of one-year domain renewal according to current tariffs.

If domain is not restored during the Redemption Grace Period — RGP, it will go to "Pending Delete" mode for 5 more days. After 5 days domain and all the registration data assigned to it will be deleted and it will once again become available for registration.

If the domain name is a subject of a dispute according to Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy — UDRP and the registered period can expire or domain name may be deleted while the dispute continues, its owner can renew or restore the domain name but it will receive Registrar HOLD or Registrar LOCK status.

  1. Definitions

    'Domain' means a region of space for hierarchical Internet names indicated by a unique domain name, serviced by a set of Domain Name Servers (DNS) and administrated by its administrator. ICANN is the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers that coordinates the domain name and IP address system, defines policies and enables functionality of root servers.

    'International domains' are .NET, .COM, .ORG, .BIZ, .INFO domains.

    'Top-level domain administrator' is an organization authorized by ICANN to administrate, define the registration policies, delegation and functioning of domains in the international top-level domains.

    'National domain' is a two-lettered top-level domain assigned by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) with the concurrence of Internet societies under country codes relying upon the ISO 3166-1 standard.

    'Top-level national domain administrator' is an organization which administrates the top-level national domain assigned for a country or a territory.

    'National domains of other countries' are .СС, .LC, .ME, .TV domains.

    'Registry' is a central database of the relevant international or national top-level domains with information on the registered domain names and DNS servers, other information required for the registration and the delegation of domains.

    'Registry Operator' is a legal entity ensuring the functioning of the registry and giving access to the registry to Registrars so that the Registrars provide the domain name registration services.

    'Premium Domain' is a domain reserved by the top-level domain administrator, top-level national domain administrator, registry operator or ICANN with the 'premium' status, the way and/or cost of the registration and/or renewal of which could differ from standard ones.

    'Other Registrar' is any legal entity accredited by ICANN or another authorized entity, including the top-level international domain Administrator, providing the domain name registration services and ensuring the transfer of the required information to the Registry.

    'Domain name registration' is entering the information on the domain name to the Registry by the Registrar. The term registration, during which the information on the domain name is recorded in the Registry, is defined by the domain name Administrator, taking into account the longest and the smallest possible terms of the registration set by the applicable Registry. The domain name registration may be renewed at the sole discretion of the domain name Administrator.

    'Domain name Administrator' is a person to the name of whom the domain name is registered. The domain name Administrator is defined in the Registrant field in the information on the domain name. The domain name Administrator defines a procedure for the use of the domain name, takes liabilities to pay for the registration and the renewal of the registration term, the administrator is responsible for the choice of the domain name, the possible abuse of rights of third parties relating to the selection and the use of the domain name and carries a risk of losses relating to the above-mentioned abuse.

    'Registration revocation' (the release of the domain name) is the removal of the information on the domain name from the Registry.

    'Domain delegation' is the placement and the storage of information on the domain name and the applicable domain name servers (DNS) on the root servers of the applicable top-level domains. The domain delegation with a list of DNS servers indicated by the Administrator or Partner of Registrar authorized by Administrator (in case of .TEL domains Registrar) is possible only within the effective period of the domain name registration.
