Domain Renewal and Expiration

A domain expiration affects more than the website: DNS and email stop working as well. Renew important domains in advance.

How to renew

• Open Console → Domains and select the domain.
• Open Renewal and choose the number of years.
• Confirm the price and pay from your wallet balance. If the balance is insufficient, add funds first.

What happens after expiration?

• DNS resolution stops after the domain expires, making the website and related services unreachable.
• After a period of time, the domain enters redemption. Redemption normally costs much more than a standard renewal. Later, the domain is released publicly and someone else may register it.
• Complete renewal before the expiration date.

Automatic renewal

Automatic renewal for domains is disabled by default. We recommend enabling it for important domains: open Renewal on the domain details page and turn on Automatic renewal. The system charges your wallet before expiration. See Automatic Renewal.
