Most generic TLDs release an expired domain roughly 75 to 80 days after its expiry date, after a renewal grace period, a redemption period and a short pending-delete window. Country-code registries write their own rules: some skip stages entirely and release names weeks earlier. Each page below states one registry's exact timeline, using the same durations Domainyze's monitoring engine computes with.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to read these timelines, and what is the same across every registry.
Where do the day counts on these pages come from?
From each registry's published lifecycle policy, verified against the source and encoded as data in our monitoring engine. The pages render the same figures the engine uses to classify a domain's stage and forecast its drop, so what you read here is what our alerts act on.
Are these timelines exact for every domain?
The stage durations are registry policy and hold in the normal case, but the clock starts when the registrar actually deletes the name, which is often earlier than the final day of grace. Watching the domain's live registry status is the only way to know where a specific name really is, which is what a watchlist does.
What if the TLD I care about is not listed?
Many country-code registries publish no lifecycle timings at all. For those, Domainyze still monitors the live registry status and alerts on every stage transition it observes; it just will not claim a day count nobody has published.
Does an expired domain always drop at the end of the timeline?
No. The owner can renew during grace, restore during redemption, and some names are picked up by aftermarket platforms before release. The timeline is the path a name takes when nobody intervenes, and stage alerts tell you the moment it leaves that path.
