  • Can I restore a suspended domain name?
    You may make restoration requests for the domain names that you terminated through your account. Please check the domain name's status in the JP Whois before you submit a request since restoration is available only while the status in the Whois is "Suspended" and until the end of the 19th day of the month. If the status is still "To be suspended", you have to use the [Reactivate "To be Suspended" Domain] function.
  • How long is the Redemption Grace Period?
    19 days after expiration date.
  • How do I submit a restoration request?

  • The domain name's status in the Whois is "To be Suspended." Can I restore it?
    The status "To be Suspended" means that the domain name will be suspended at the end of the month and it has not expired yet. If you would like to remove this status from the domain name, click the "Reactivate "To be Suspended" Domain" and submit a reactivation request. You must complete the whole reactivation process by the end of 23:59 (JST) of the month.
