Domain redemption period is a standard status period for domains that have expired and passed the autorenew period. You may visit http://www.tucowsdomains.com/whois-use-and-information/what-does-redemptionperiod-or-pending-delete-restorable-mean/ to learn more about this.

Note that when a domain expires, the registrant has a few days to renew the domain at regular price. If he fails to do so, the domain goes into the redemption period for about a 40day period during which the cost for RESTORING the domain is much higher. Note that the registrar is also charged a very high fee during this period and as such, the high fee is transferred to the registrant. This status period is observed by populat gTLDs such as .com, .org, .net, etc and depends entirely on the registry of the TLD.

If you have any further inquiries about this, do send a mail to support[at]whogohost.com and we would be glad to explain further
