What happens after a domain expires?
When a domain expires, your website and email service will stop functioning, and no changes can be made to the domain. For generic TLDs (.com, .net, .org, .biz, .info, etc.), you have a period of about 30 days after the actual expiration date during which, you can still renew the domain at the regular rate.
If you do not renew the domain within this grace period, it enters a redemption stage for 30 days (sometimes more) at the Registry. You have an option to renew the domain at this stage with a redemption fee plus its regular renewal cost. If the domain is not recovered from redemption, it enters a PendingDelete stage at the Registry for 5 days. On the 6th day, the domain should be released to the public for re-registration.
Normally, generic TLDs get released approximately in 70-80 days (in rare cases, up to 120 days) after the expiration date if not returned from redemption and if not auctioned off. Please note that once the domain has been released to public, the registration is carried out on a first come, first served basis worldwide.
