# How to restore a domain ?

### Question :

How can I restore a domain in its period of restoration?

### Answer :

In case the domain can still be restored (depending on the TLD and the quarantine period) the domain can be restored via the [Control Panel](https://cp.openprovider.eu/domain/queue-restore.php%20) or via [API](https://doc.openprovider.eu/API_Module_Domain_restoreDomainRequest).   
  
If the domain is not visible in the restore queue, please check the details of the TLD if restore is supported and what the period in which restore should be possible.

**Steps to restore a domain :**

You can find the restore option in 2 locations.  
  
1 - Via the menu **Domains Overview** >> **Restorable Domains***.*

2 *- O*n the *detail page* of the domain name itself.

**Domains Overview** >> **Restorable Domains**

Click on the confirmation, and the domain will be restored!

It depends on the TLD and/or the phase of the domain if a restore fee is charged.

Please check the pages for information about the *[Soft quarantine](https://openprovider.help/books/domains/page/soft-quarantine)* (no restore fee) and *[Hard quarantine](https://openprovider.help/books/domains/page/hard-quarantine)* (restore fee).  
  
The prices for the restore fee per TLD can be found in the control panel via [this link.](https://cp.openprovider.eu/web/action/index#/extension/price/)  
  
If you would like to restore a deleted/expired domain that is not shown in the control panel, please [contact our support team](https://openprovider.help/books/quick-start/page/contact-openprovider-support).
