Part 1. Available Name or domain name is empty.
While the name is empty, the name has not yet been registered as a domain name. (Also known as an empty domain name range), the user can therefore choose an empty name to submit a domain name registration request in the system.
Period 2. Registered Period or registration period.
The domain name is already registered in the Domain Name System (DNS) so that no one else can register a duplicate of this domain name. This period will have a period equal to the number of years of the domain name that you have registered or renewed.

The domain name will be Active and functioning normally.
Period 5. Redemption Grace Period 30 days or 30 days recovery grace period.
If the domain name exceeds the Hold Period and has not been renewed within the grace period of the following day, Registrar will send a delete command to the registrar who maintains the domain name registration database ( Registry Operator) during this period, the Registry Operator will prepare to delete the domain name but still allow it to recover for 30 days. ) arising in addition to the renewal fee (Renewal Fee).
