Availiable domain

This diagram shows the life cycle of a domain: from when it is registered and active, until it expires and goes through different periods before being deleted and made available again. During this process, the domain can still be renewed or reclaimed within specific deadlines.

Activation period

The domain has been successfully registered and is functioning normally. During this phase, the owner can manage, renew, transfer, or activate auto-renewal according to the registrar's policy.

Renew period

Before the expiration date, some domains enter a pre-renewal phase. During this period, notifications can be sent, payment methods verified, and the domain's automatic renewal can be set up to prevent expiration.

Recovery period

After expiration, the domain may enter a temporary recovery phase. During this period, it can still be renewed or recovered, although the conditions and cost may vary depending on the domain extension and its technical condition.

Deleting period

This is the final phase of the domain lifecycle. At this point, it is usually no longer possible to renew or recover it, and it remains pending deletion by the registry to become available again.

Can I register a domain without hosting?

Yes, of course! It is even the most recommended to protect the name of your project or company on the Internet.

If I only have one website, why should I register more than one domain?

There are several reasons to register the same domain name in several extensions (.com, .es, .cat...). Here are some of the most important ones:

Access to specific markets through the extension and even personalize your brand depending on the market. For example, if you are targeting the Spanish market it is
Attract more traffic to your main website. You can redirect queries from your domains with other extensions to your main website.
Your potential customers will be able to access from different domains, so you could have more visits.
Prevent your competitors from using your name. If you let free a domain with an extension with your name, someone else could use it and you would lose visits.

If I already have a registered domain name, can I transfer it to SW Hosting?

If you already have a registered domain you can place it with the accredited registrar of your choice and you are free to change your provider whenever you wish.

If your domain is .es, you will only need access to the email of the administrative contact to be able to move it.
If your domain is .com, .cat or another generic extension, we will ask you for a code called "Authcode". This code must be provided to you by your current domain registrar and is essential for us to be able to perform the migration. This authcode can usually be obtained from your current registrar's control panel.

And remember that you don't have to wait until the domain is going to expire before you can change provider, you never lose days of expiration. Of course, you cannot transfer the domain if it is less than 60 days since you registered it.

A domain is mine forever?

No, it is yours as long as you have it registered and you renew it. If, for whatever reason, the domain expires, you should check how many days you have to recover it, since each extension has its own rules.
It is very important that you keep an eye on the renewal dates of your domains so that they do not expire by mistake, although we will warn you in advance.

Is it possible to auto-renew my domains?

Yes, of course. SW Hosting offers, inside the SWPanel client panel, the option to activate the auto-renewal for any of your domains, so that you don't have to worry about it.
