How to Renew a Domain Name

Extend a domain registration before it expires.

Quick Answer

Sign in to the domain registrar, select the domain, and use its Renew option.

Step by Step

  1. Identify the registrar.
  2. Sign in to the registrar account.
  3. Open the domain.
  4. Choose Renew.
  5. Select the renewal period.
  6. Confirm contact/payment information.
  7. Complete payment and verify the new expiration date.

If That Doesn't Work

  • Do not rely solely on email renewal notices; phishing messages often imitate registrars.
  • Expired-domain recovery can cost more than normal renewal.
