how to get my domain back? help

[rutra]

hi:)
i forgot to renew my domain yesterday (it's my fault i simply didn't redirect a email i never used)
anyway my domain expired today:(
when i look at whois it is still mine. when i want to order again i get info that domain is busy. when i call the registrar nobody pick up phone.
is there any way to get this domain back as quick as possible?
i have a lot of freesites on it so i wanna get my traffic back and don't want to blacklisted for redirecting or something.

help me pls

It gets locked the day it goes expired.

Hopefully you have a good register. Drop them an e-mail and also keep on trying to call them.

Thx for your reply Cleo:)

what exactly matter with a domain when it get locked?

I believe it will be in a "pending delete" status, but you'll have the option to still renew it.. but at a higher price..

My registrar begins emailing about 90 days before expiration which outlines the process.. it's something like $95 I think, but I am *not* sure if I'm remembering correctly, so dont' despair.

Good luck :)

Lucky you!

It should teach all of us to make sure that all contact details with our domain registrar are always up-to-date, and to keep domains locked! ...and maybe set all domains to automatic renewal!

Yep, this is a good policy! Especially on your good domains that you are already using:)
