Restrictions
60 days prior to the expiry date, a scheduled deletion request is submitted to the registry. If the domain is renewed during that sixty day period, the deletion request is removed and the domain is renewed at the registry on its expiry date.
If a domain name is not renewed by its expiry date, it continues to work until the end of the expiry month, after which time it goes into quarantine where it is held for 40 days. During that 40 day period, it can be retrieved (reactivated) by the owner; however, the cost to reactivate a domain that is in quarantine is higher than the standard renewal rate. After the 40 day quarantine period, if the domain has not been reactivated, it is made available for public registration again.
Contact Modification Restrictions
Unlike most gTLDs .BE requires 2 contacts to register a .BE domain, the owner and a technical contact.
