    An expired domain is one that the owner has failed to renew. This can be for several reasons. Perhaps they forgot to renew it, perhaps their payment method or credit card didn't go through, perhaps they went out of business and forgot about small details like domains, or perhaps they simply don't care about it anymore.

    Expired domains can be used for your main website if it's a very good fit. In other words, if you are an SEO company and you are getting expired domain links from another SEO company - especially one that performs the same kind of SEO in the same location, then it's probably safe.

    What does this all mean? You'll have 30 days (for most domains*) after your registration expires to renew your domain at the standard rate. After 30 days*, it'll still be possible to renew, but you'll have to pay an additional fee -- typically $100 (for a .com domain).

    Expired domains are domains that have been registered by individuals, businesses, or organizations, but aren’t renewed after the contract ends, or are deliberately terminated. That means that they available for re-registration. There are many reasons why someone would choose to abandon a domain; one reason could be that the web project failed, or that a domain portfolio went into liquidation. Domains can also end up becoming free due to the owner receiving warnings for possible trademark infringement. Re-registering can also result in legal consequences.

    A variety of things can happen to a domain once it expires. It can be renewed by the registrant, be purchased at auction, return to the registry (the primary database for domain names), or become subject to domain squatting. Before any of those things happen, the party who was leasing the domain (the registrant) will usually have opportunities to buy back the rights to use their expired domain name. However, it's much simpler to renew the domain name before it expires
