Domain expiration can interrupt your website and email and can eventually lead to loss of the domain if it is not renewed or restored in time.
Redemption is a late recovery stage after expiration/deletion in which the domain can often still be restored, but it is more urgent and can involve extra fees.
Deleting Gmail is narrower than deleting the entire Google Account: your Gmail address and mail are affected, while other Google services can remain tied to the account.
Business email depends on the domain and its DNS/MX records; domain expiry can interrupt mail delivery even if the mailbox provider itself is still paid.
