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.
Cancelling normally stops future renewal; access usually continues until the subscription period ends unless a service or local rule says otherwise.
