Domain Renewal — How Not to Lose Your Website Print

  • 0

When do you need to renew?

A domain is registered for a set period (usually 1 year). If not renewed on time — the domain will first be suspended, then released and available for anyone else to register.

What happens after expiry

Timeline Status
Day X (expiry) Domain suspended, website unavailable
Day X + 1-30 Grace period — can renew at normal price
Day X + 30-45 Redemption period — renewal at higher price
Day X + 45+ Domain released — available for anyone to register

How to renew your domain

  1. Client area → Domains
  2. Find your domain and click Renew
  3. Choose the period (1-10 years)
  4. Pay — domain renewed immediately after payment

Auto-renewal — we recommend it!

Enable auto-renewal so you never have to worry. Client area → Domains → click on domain → Auto Renewal: Enable. 30 days before expiry we'll automatically charge and renew your domain.

Email reminders

We send reminders 60, 30 and 7 days before domain expiry. Make sure your profile has a current email address.
