Leading up to the renewal of any domain name you have registered with us, we will email you notifications at set intervals to remind you that the domain name will shortly expire. We email you at 60 days, 30 days, 15 days, 7 days and 1 day before domain name expiry.
It is often wise to manually order a domain name renewal long in advance to avoid any problems at the registrar that might happen, or to allow plenty of time for your renewal to be processed, as leaving our own automated system to renew your domain name means that we will be relying on your own credit card payment to be successful on the day of renewal, so should your bank decide to decline your card payment, you are at risk of your domain name expiring.
Renewals can not be ordered more than 6 months before the expiry date.
Once a domain name has expired, it then enters what's called a "Redemption period" of 30 days, were the domain name can still be renewed, but incurs a redemption fee of 1 year renewal, plus the cost of the domain name renewal, plus any late fee's from us if your invoice is overdue.
Once the first 30 days has passed, all .tld names such as .com/.net/.biz etc will incur an £80 redemption fee. If there is any doubt at all or any questions on this, please do ask us, but hopefully we have covered it all in the items above regarding domain name renewals.
May 2008 update:
If you do NOT want your domain name to be renewed, you can now login to your "My account" and go to "My domains" then click the "View details" button for the doman name you want to expire, and then simply click on "Do not renew" which will now set your domain name to expire and we will not attempt any renewal, nor will we email you regarding its expiry.
