Renewal Services
Domain Names need to be renewed before they expire to avoid disruption to your company website or email.
Keeping your domain name renewed is essential to protect your website, email services, and online identity. Renewal reminders are sent by email, so it's important to keep your contact details up to date.
We recommend renewing your domain as soon as you receive your renewal notice to avoid service interruptions or set up your domain to auto-renew.
Why Renew Early?
If your domain expires:
- Your website will stop working.
- Email services linked to your domain will stop receiving messages.
- If you don't renew your domain, it may become available for someone else to register.
Most domain extensions can still be renewed for a short period (30 days) after expiry, but renewing before the expiry date is always the safest option.
Global Domain Renewals (.com, .net, .org and others)
For global domain extensions, there is usually a grace period after expiry (30 days) during which you can still renew your domain.
If the domain remains unpaid over 30 days, it may enter a Redemption Period. Once this happens a redemption fee applies.
- If the domain is not renewed, it will eventually become available for registration by the general public.
Many expired domains are monitored by domain investors and automated registration services. If a valuable domain becomes available, it may be registered by someone else very quickly.
To avoid redemption fees and the risk of losing your domain, renew it before it expires.
Australian Domain Renewals (.au, .com.au and others)
Australian domains can normally be renewed for a limited period (30 days) after expiry. However, once a domain expires:
- Your website will go offline.
- Email services will stop working.
- The domain will eventually be released for re-registration.
If your domain is important to your business, we strongly recommend renewing it before the expiry date.
Protect Your Digital Asset
A domain name is often one of a business's most valuable digital assets. Over time, domains can gain value through:
- Brand recognition
- Search engine rankings
- Marketing campaigns
- Existing customers and email addresses
- Links from other websites
Allowing a domain to expire could result in the loss of years of online reputation, data and marketing investment. It may not always be possible to renew the domain again.
Renewal Notices
Our renewal notices are designed to give you plenty of time to renew.
- First reminder sent approximately 60-90 days before expiry
- Additional reminders sent before and after expiry if the domain remains unpaid
We recommend renewing as soon as you receive your first reminder.
