: Godaddy and .NET Redemption Period I have a .NET domain that expired 42 days ago. Only today the DNS service for my domain was shut down and i realized that the domain was going to expire.

This is from GoDaddy and what happens to domains with manual renewal set


Manual Renewal
If you did not set your domain names to automatically renew, when your domain name registration expires, we proceed with the following steps before canceling it:


On the day after your domain name registration's expiration date, we
notify you of the domain name registration's expiration and park your
domain name. You can manually renew your domain name.
On the 5th and 12th days after expiration, we email you additional
notifications. You can manually renew your domain name.
On the 19th day after expiration, your domain name remains on hold
but becomes subject to a redemption fee. You can manually renew your
domain name, subject to any applicable renewal and redemption fees.
On the 25th day after expiration, we put your domain name up for
auction with a domain name industry auction service. You can manually
renew your domain name, subject to any applicable renewal and
redemption fees.
On the 42nd day after expiration, we cancel your domain name. We
delete all services associated with the domain name.



Look up and see what day your domain was supposed to expire then see if it was sold within this time frame. If so contact GoDaddy support they are pretty helpful
