.org domain life cycle
Available domain
In this first phase the domain is free and can be registered. Any user can request registration through an accredited Registrar Agent and become the owner of the domain.
Register
The domain name is registered and can be active from 1 to 10 years. This is the period of the first registration, but if the holder decides to renew it, he can keep the domain active for as long as he wishes.
Due date
When the expiration date of the domain arrives, if it is not renewed, the domain expires. At that time, all services related to the domain become inactive: the website, email accounts, etc.
Grace period
If the domain is not renewed before the expiration date, it enters a grace period that lasts between 30 and 45 days. During this period, the domain remains inactive, but it can be recovered at the normal renewal price.
Redemption Period
If the domain is not renewed during the grace period, it goes into a redemption status for 30 days. A domain in redemption can be recovered and renewed, but at a higher price than the normal renewal fee.
Deletion
If the domain is not renewed during the grace or redemption period, at the end of the period it remains in the process of deletion for about 5 days. When it is deregistered, it becomes available again for registration by any user.

Frequently asked questions about .org domains
What are .org domains used for?
The .org domain extension was created in 1985, and was originally an extension intended for association or organization websites. Today .org domains are used for any type of web because it is one of the best-known extensions. The body in charge of regulating this extension is ICANN, which has delegated its management to the Public Internet Registry. If you are looking for a domain for your NGO, another type of organization or an association, this is one of the extensions that you should choose.
DNS update in .org domains
The DNS of a .com domain can be modified at any time at the provider where the domain is managed. At Webempresa we provide you with a control panel where you can check the DNS assigned to the domain and also modify them. The DNS change takes effect immediately on the domain, but must propagate throughout the network. This propagation can take 6-12 hours to complete, typically.
Change of Whois data in .org domains
The whois data of all the domain contacts (owner, administrative, technical, billing) can be changed at any time at the provider where the domain is managed. If the name, surname, organization, identity document or email account is updated in the data of the owner contact, a process of change of domain owner will begin, which must be accepted by both the current owner contact and the new one to make it effective. If the data of the holder is changed, the domain cannot be transferred to another provider in the 60 days following the change.
Is it advisable to use .org domains with ñ?
We advise against adding a special symbol that is typical of the language (ñ, ç or an accent), since these are domains called IDN or Internationalized Domain Names. The reason is that they cause problems when managing email accounts, among other things. For example, known mail managers (Windows Mail, Gmail, Hotmail or Outlook) do not successfully send or receive messages for this type of domain. What you can do is register them to protect your brand and redirect them to the domain that you finally use for your website and your email.
Are there .org domains that are reserved or that cannot be registered?
Although there are no reserved names when registering a .org domain, we recommend you not include trademarks or registered names, since the owner could sue you and claim the domain
Can I assign my company data in Whois contacts to the .orgdomain?
Yes, you can assign both company and individual data to any whois contact of the .org domain
