But this situation depends on the kindness of the domain purchaser. They hold all the cards. After they purchase the domain, their contact details can be accessed via the WHOIS database. You can contact them and ask for the domain name back. But it is entirely up to them whether they decide to help you out or not. They may ask for a lot of money, or just flat out refuse to return it. That’s why you should make sure you renew your domain name early (or renew for multiple years) so that you never have to be in this situation.

Real life happened and I couldn't mess with it for a couple months. Some people were asking about my site one night and I went to pull it up on my phone... FILE NOT FOUND. Well that doesn't make sense, I dropped $200 dollars on unnecessary junk they tricked me into, they can at least host my site properly. I log onto my account once I was able to access my computer and... everything was gone!


Sometime in late-2015, GoDaddy stopped offering publicly available coupon codes for renewals of domain names, hosting products, and the like. Every once in a while we find promo codes that will still work, and we put them up here for people to use and save. But as time goes on, these codes are dwindling. We’ve populated our list with lots of cool coupons for new products like Office 365, Website builders, SSL certificates, and domain registrations, but these are for new purchases (meaning it’s the first time you’ve ordered the product).
