What happens if my domain name expires?

If your domain name expired, then your site will show a advertisement page from the registrar.

Expired domains from HostGator will look like this:

A whois lookup will reveal that the domain expires in the future, but was updated a day after it renewed, and the nameservers are changed. (The nameservers will automatically revert back when the registration fee is paid.)

Name Server: DNS1.NAME-SERVICES.COM
Name Server: DNS2.NAME-SERVICES.COM
Name Server: DNS3.NAME-SERVICES.COM
Name Server: DNS4.NAME-SERVICES.COM
Name Server: DNS5.NAME-SERVICES.COM
Updated Date: 29-mar-2009
Expiration Date: 28-mar-2010
You have 29 days to pay for your domain name and keep it. After 29 days, it will cost extra to renew, and you risk losing the domain to another buyer.
