Hello community,
I have one domain which expired 37 days ago and it still shows clientTransferProhibited status under Verisign's WHOIS (the results are not cached). I guess the Namecheap just auto-renewed the domain for one month or so to prevent it from going into the redemptionPeriod and to profit if customer actaully pays them the fee for late renewal. I contacted their Ukrainian live chat support because the domain name disappeared from my dashboard and they keep telling me the domain name is under redemptionPeriod status and they are unable to renew it without paying $80+ fee. Are they able to do that leagally without breaching the ICANN's policies?
Thanks.
