Mailbox Life Cycle
If you purchase mailboxes for an existing domain, the term of the mailbox is adjusted to the term of the domain name for technical reasons. For your benefit, you will only be charged for full years (rounded down).
If you buy mailboxes without renewing the domain beforehand, you will be charged at least one year for the mailbox service, even if your domain has a term of less than one year. To avoid disadvantages due to shortened mailbox terms, it is advantageous for you to renew your domain first and then create the mailbox.
Acquire a mailbox for an existing domain (I)
Let's assume you own a .com domain expiring in 17 months, and you want to add a basic mailbox:
1-year basic mailbox: | USD 11,96* |
result - domain term is unchanged, and 17 months of mailbox service |
USD 11,96* |
the additional 5 months are "rounded down" which means, they are added, but not charged |
Acquire a mailbox for an existing domain (II)
Suppose you have a .com domain that expires in 3 months. You would like to add a basic mailbox service; you receive a warning because the term of the mailbox clearly is below one year. In this case, you should renew the domain before ordering the mailbox.
1-year basic mailbox: | USD 11,96* |
result - domain term is unchanged, and 3 months of mailbox service |
USD 11,96* |
For technical reasons, you only receive a 3-month term - it would be more advantageous for you to renew the domain beforehand |
*The above price is an example only, actual prices are shown in our Price List
Renewal of the domain with existing mailbox service
Existing mailboxes are also automatically renewed when the domain is renewed. If you do not wish this, mailboxes that are not to be renewed must be deleted before the domain renewal.
Mailbox deletion: grace period and statuses
When your domain name expires or you place a deletion order, your mailbox will go through a grace period, followed by a cool-down phase, and then permanent deletion. Below is an explanation of the different mailbox statuses based on each phase of its lifecycle:
when | status | what happens |
---|---|---|
mailbox creation | active | user is active, login is allowed |
mailbox deletion 1: triggered by user action or expiration |
pending_deletion | start of the grace period (14 days): the user may still log in, no email sending is possible |
mailbox deletion 2 | deleted | no login is possible, cool-down phase (14 days) |
mailbox removal 1 | ready_for_removal | user and data can be removed |
mailbox removal 2 | removed | user and data have been removed |
mailbox suspension | suspended | login is allowed, email sending and receiving are not possible |
