If you fail to renew your domain names on time the domain will expire. Once it has expired the domain name can be deleted at any time. This means all expired domain names will be deleted at any time after their expiration date, subject to the registrar's sole discretion and allocation of technical resources.
Deleted .COM and .NET domains will enter a 30 day Redemption grace period during which it may be possible to reinstate the domain names for a charge which will vary between different registrars. This charge is also known as the domain name expiry recovery fee or domain recovery fee. The minimum domain recovery fee is $80. The recovery fee is in addition to the renewal fee.
Remember, when you renew, the time is added to the end of the expiry date, not the date you performed the renewal, so really you have nothing to lose by renewing early. And if your names are important to you, go ahead and renew them for two years or more.
