What is domain redemption status?
After domain expires we allow 27 days of grace period for almost all TLDs in which you can renew/reactivate domain from the expiration date. After the 27 days the domain may be placed into auction for a week, if not sold (rarely do the domains get sold at auction), then it is placed into redemption by the registry. Once in redemption, there is an additional fee of $200 for reactivation. So it's total $200 + the renewal cost for the domain (depending on the TLD). If the domain is still not renewed, then after 80-85 days in the status of redemption it's made available for everyone again.
