The domain dropping cycle is a process that a website goes through when its lease is expired or is bought by a customer who wishes to use the domain for their own purposes. If close to being shut down by the host or registrar, the host can attempt to sell it or wait for its renewal. A grace period is offered to those who may not have finances immediately for lease renewal, but after that, it is mostly up to the buyer to decide to buy the rights to their site back.
If a lease term on the rights expires, the purchaser must decide whether or not to keep the domain they have purchased, or have it be sold and transferred by the host. It can be put up for sale during the initial forty-five day grace period that is given after lease expiration. This is due to the fact that the purchaser may not pay for their lease, and it must be transferred to a new owner or shut down completely.
An active domain is one that has a searchable, reliable web presence. If someone goes to the domain, it shows up without incident. This also means that the website functions rather smoothly, and does not redirect to pages that may show up when the website's name has expired. This occurs when financial dues have not been paid to the domain holder and they are forced to shut down service to the site in question or even sell it.
Once the term for usage has expired, there is a usual forty-five day grace period the purchaser has to renew the name they have chosen, or force the website to be shut down. Reminders are often sent during this time to warn of the impending closure if financial needs are not met.
The registrar has the ability to try and sell the name of the site during this time period, but must also adhere to the payment of dues by the initial customer.
The redemption period of the doman dropping cycle occurs when a registrar has sold the name of the website during the forty-five day grace period given to renew ownership. If this happens, the initial purchaser continues to have the right to get their site back during this time period.
Generally, it is harder to repurchase a name that has been lost after the redemption grace period, and often costs much more, but it is still and option to those who are willing to refinance their site.
