Domain Recovery
Why is my domain expiring or dropping?
Your domain name is very important for your website and professional email address to operate.
It can come as a huge shock to find your domain name is about to “drop” on the public domain auctions. When this happens, you don’t only lose your domain, but your website and email addresses stop working too. Not to mention, someone else, including your competitors, can buy your domain and start trading on your online brand.
There are many reasons how and why your domain name has ended up being “dropped”, but for now, let’s concentrate on getting it back for you.
The Auction Deadline
Every day around 1500 Australian domain names “drop” on the public domain auctions. This generally means renewal fees have not been paid so the domains are becoming available on public auctions for anyone to buy.
The “Time remaining” countdown clock displayed at the top left of this website shows you how much time is left to recover your domain name before it “drops” to the public.
If you act quickly, before the countdown ends, we have a very high chance of recovering your domain name before your competition buys it, or a domain squatter or cyber squatter gets their hands on it.
Enter your domain name in the recovery search bar.

Domain Expiring Process Explained
When your domain name expires, or you forget to pay the renewal, you will notice your website and email address no longer work. This also means your current Domain Registrar has let you down, and allowed your domain name to be deleted by not contacting you enough times, or with any sense of urgency.
The only way to get your domain name back is to employ the services of a domain drop catcher service, like us.
A drop catching service allows a person to lodge a pre-application for a domain name before it is due to drop, and then uses a special software program to ‘catch’ the domain name at the registry as soon as it drops, ensuring we get it before the general public have a chance to. Without the necessary knowledge or technology it can be quite difficult for the general public to pick up these domain names.
Here at Oz Registry we have a 90% success rate to ensure your domain name is recovered and placed back in your ownership and control.
Once we are successful in recovering your domain name, we also set your nameservers back to what they should be, meaning your website and email will start working again within a few hours. We will also email you your new login details so you can manage your domain again.
