5 days of initial domain registration it will instead be deleted
immediately).

would require the domain owner to pay a redemption/penalty fee as well
as the renewal fee to renew the domain.

-PENDING DELETE RESTORABLE is a status reserved for .info and .org domains
For .com, .net, .org , .info, .biz domains:
To reclaim ownership of
your domain and avoid losing the domain when it gets released at the end of the
redemption period, you may do so by remitting payment for the following:
Redemption Fee = $135 USD (this fee is subject to change and is required to get the domain back from the registry)
Domain Renewal Fee = $9.95 USD (to renew domain for one year)
Kindly reply to this e-mail to signify your agreement of the redemption and domain renewal charges and call us at 1-877-399-9909 or 416-661-2100 with the card number you would like to use for the payment. Once we receive your agreement to pay the redemption and domain renewal charges we will proceed
with the renewal and billing process.
For .ca domains:
A .ca domain name can still be renewed if it has become suspended due to non-renewal,
up until the end of the 30 day suspension period. At the end of the 30 day
suspension period, the domain name is cancelled and added to the TBR (To Be
Released) List. Domains on this TBR list are then released to the public during
an upcoming TBR.
Domains Not Being Billed Through Netfirms Registrar:
To renew the domain name during the redemption period (eg. to minimize risk
of someone else registering your domain name after the redemption period) we
suggest you contact your domain registrar.
Once your domain is renewed, your website, email, and all other hosting
services related to the domain will resume. If you wish to have Netfirms host
your domain's website and e-mail services, we recommend that you transfer your
domain to Netfirms.
To transfer your domain to Netfirms so that we may host your domain
name/website /email, please contact your registrar and have them unlock your
domain and point your domain to the following Netfirms nameservers:
ns1.netfirms.com
ns2.netfirms.com
NOTE: The transfer can take anywhere from 24-72 hours depending on when
your registrar makes the change. Please refer to http://support.netfirms.com/article.php?id=660
for specific instructions on how to update your nameservers through your domain
registrar.
Once the full propagation of your domain has completed your Web/E-mail
services along with any domain and email forwarding rules you have configured on
your account with Netfirms will be functional.
