When does outlook.com expire?
outlook.com's current registration runs until 17 August 2027. Expires in 322 days.
The owner can renew at any time before then, which moves the date forward by the renewal term. Large brands usually renew years ahead.
- Registered
- Grace period 45 days
- Redemption 30 days
- Pending delete 5 days
- Released
What happens if it isn't renewed?
An unrenewed .com name passes through fixed phases before it is released: a 45-day grace period in which the owner can still renew at the normal price, a 30-day redemption period in which recovery costs a fee on top of renewal, then 5 days pending delete, when no one can renew or register it. The durations are the .com registry's published figures.
When could it drop?
Only if it is not renewed. The earliest it could be released is 5 November 2027, if every phase runs its full length.
Is outlook.com available to register?
No. outlook.com is registered, so a registration attempt today would fail.
It only becomes available if the owner lets it lapse and it clears every phase above. Domain Watch checks the name twice a day and sends one email the day it is released.
How old is outlook.com?
outlook.com is 32 years old: it was first registered on 18 August 1994.
The creation date is when the current registration began. A name that dropped and was re-registered gets a new creation date, so this counts continuous registration, not first use.
The Internet Archive first captured a page on outlook.com on 24 December 1996 and holds captures from 31 different years.

Is outlook.com down right now?
This record covers outlook.com's registration, DNS and certificate, read once a day. It does not test whether the website is responding right now.
On 28 September 2026 its nameservers answered. Its certificate validated on 28 September 2026.
A name that is registered, answers DNS and serves a valid certificate but still will not load has a hosting or server problem, not a registration one.
