# New .MY Domain Name LifeCycle

Dear Valued Customers,

To keep up with global standards, MYNIC has revised/changed in the .MY Domain Name Lifecycle, which will affect Billing Cycle. 

Effective 1st February 2024, MYNIC has introduced "Auto Renew Grace Period" upon domain expiry.

**What is Auto Renew Grace Period?**

This means your domain name will be automatically renewed to 1 year upon expiry and reflected as “auto renew period” at WHOIS domain status.


**.MY Auto Renew Grace Period**

For .MY domain names, **Auto Renew Grace Period is set at 40 days upon expiry**. Your domain names will still be active for the first 30 days, and then be suspended for the next 10 days if left unpaid. Refer diagram below:

After that, MYNIC provides an extra **Redemption Grace Period of 30 days**, during which you still have the option to renew + restore it with an additional redemption fee. 

Once the Renewal and Redemption Grace Periods have lapsed, the domain will go into a **pending delete phase for 5 days** before it is deleted and returned to the public market.

We highly advise for all our clients to take note on all important domains and make early renewal.
