If your domain name has slipped out of Renewal Grace Period to Renewal Redemption Period, you can, in most cases get your domain name back, but it is a very costly process and can take several days to do so. You will not be able to pay the normal domain name renewal outstanding invoice to get your domain name back, you MUST contact KartHost Domain Name Support, we will have to ask to have your domain name moved back to us and placed in your account at KartHost. Since this is normally a manual process it does take time to complete.
