Expiry

When does yahoo.com expire?

yahoo.com's current registration runs until 19 January 2027. Expires in 112 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 9 April 2027, if every phase runs its full length.

How the .com lifecycle works

Availability

Is yahoo.com available to register?

No. yahoo.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 yahoo.com?

yahoo.com is 31 years old: it was first registered on 18 January 1995.

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.
