Before a domain is set to expire or renew, we send an email to the domain holder with instructions. Make sure you check these emails, as they contain important information to help you keep your domain name.
You receive expiration and renewal reminders:
28 days before expiry or renewal
21 days before expiry or renewal
14 days before expiry or renewal
7 days before expiry or renewal
1 day before expiry or renewal
Renew your domain
When your domain is due to expire, we send you a reminder email to let you know it’s time to renew.
To renew your domain, select the renewal link in your expiration email and follow the on‑screen instructions.
Length of time from purchase to expiry
It's essential to understand how long you own your domain. This can vary depending on the top-level domain.
Top-level domain refers to the last part of a domain name. For example, in www.dotdigital.com, the .com portion is the top-level domain.
It's also useful to know how long your domain belongs to you before it needs to be renewed. This length of time varies according to the top-level domain.
