Expiry

When does x.com expire?

x.com's current registration runs until 20 October 2034. Expires in 2944 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.

  1. Registered
  2. Grace period 45 days
  3. Redemption 30 days
  4. Pending delete 5 days
  5. 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 8 January 2035, if every phase runs its full length.

How the .com lifecycle works

Availability

Is x.com available to register?

No. x.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.

Age

How old is x.com?

x.com is 33 years old: it was first registered on 2 April 1993.

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.

Is x.com down right now?

This record covers x.com's registration, DNS and certificate, read once a day. It does not test whether the website is responding right now.
