Assuming it's expired, the registrar will retain that name between 1-45 days
while trying to secure renewal payment for it. If unsuccessful, it'll eventually
have the name deleted.

One exception is netsol. After 35 days of not securing renewal payment, they
will turn over the name to snapnames and see if someone reserved for it.
