Domains that are on the "Pending Deletion" status may be reactivated upon request. This function provides a way to automatically submit a reactivation request.
Registrars may only reactivate a domain name once after it expires. If a domain name is reactivated, and then goes on Pending Deletion again before payment is received, then the request is referred to our administrators. When we receive your request, it will be processed by a member of our Domain Administration team. The domain will then be placed back on the "Live" status, and a registration or renewal invoice will be re-issed.
If you specify an email parameter, our administrators will send a notification to that address (if the request is referred).
If you specify the period parameter, the domain will be renewed for that number of years upon reactivation. If not specified, the system will automatically queue a renewal item for the domain, with a renewal period equal to the domain's original renewal period (2 years for most registrars).
