How do I renew, auto-renew or transfer a domain?
Check expiration, renewal quotes and transfer requirements for your domain.
Open the domain’s management page to review expiration and renewal terms. If auto-renew is available, verify its setting and payment method before relying on it. Before transferring a domain, check the receiving registrar’s instructions and confirm whether locks, authorization codes or timing requirements apply to that extension.
Before you start
Record the expiration date and confirm access to the domain owner’s email.
What to do
Review renewal first if the domain is near expiration. For a transfer, follow the receiving registrar’s checklist and keep a copy of DNS records and the transfer reference.
Common problems
If a transfer stalls, check its status with both registrars and confirm whether the domain is locked or needs owner confirmation.
