Renewing a Domain Name

When you register a domain name, it is registered to you for a certain number of years i.e., until its Registration term expires. If you plan to continue using it beyond its Expiry Date, then you need to renew it.

You can renew your domain name from your Control Panel by following the below mentioned process:

  1. Login to your Control Panel. 1

  2. Search for the domain name and proceed to the Order Information view. 2

  3. Click the Renew button.

    Note

    If the domain name is Locked/Suspended, you will have to first get it Unlocked/Unsuspended it before proceeding further.

  4. From the Renew for drop-down box, select the numbers of years for which you wish to renew this domain name and then click Renew Domain Name.

  5. Proceed to Pay for the Renewal.

The Renewal would be affected immediately.

Note

  • If you wish to renew more than one domain name at a time, you may do so from the Renewal Management interface.

  • A Renewal action, once completed, can not be reversed. The only option would be deleting the domain name, in case the same is no longer required.

  • As per the .UK Registry regulations, a .UK domain name:

    • can be at the earliest renewed only 6 months before its Expiry Date.

    • can be renewed until 90 days after Expiry.

    • can only be renewed for 2 years.

  • As per the .CO Registry regulations, the maximum Renewal term for a .CO domain name is 5 years.

  • After a .DE domain name is registered, it may be Renewed for 1 year, only after the Expiration date has passed in the year when it was registered. The total term of a .DE domain name can not exceed 2 years.

    Examples:

    • If you have registered myname.de on January 11, 2011, then the Expiry Date of myname.de is January 27, 2012. You may, however, renew this domain name only after January 27, 2011 for a further 1 year. This will bring your Expiry Date to January 27, 2013.

    • If you have registered myname.de on January 31, 2011, then the Expiry Date of myname.de remains as January 27, 2012. You may, however, renew this domain name immediately after registration, for a further 1 year since January 27, 2011 has already passed. The Expiry Date becomes January 27, 2013.

  • A .ES domain name can be renewed for a maximum term of 5 years.

  • A .AU domain name can:

    • be Renewed anytime from 90 days prior to it's Expiry until 30 days after it Expires.

    • be Renewed for only 2 years.

Attention

You will encounter the below error message in case the domain name is Locked/Suspended at the Registry (and not under our system):

Domain Status does not allow this operation.

In this case you are requested to contact our Support Team at http://support.bigrock.com to know, the reason for the Lock/Suspension and how the Lock/Suspension may be removed.
