My domain name has expired. How do I renew it?

When your domain renewal is due, immediately check the expiration date. If it's still within the renewal protection period, you can still renew at the normal price.

So how do you renew your domain name normally? Below, we'll explain what to do if your domain renewal expires and how to renew your domain name.

Domain renewal is a very important task for domain owners, but for various reasons, it's sometimes forgotten. What should you do if your domain expires?

1. Determine if the domain expires within the renewal protection period.

Every domain name has a renewal protection period after expiration. If it's still within this period, you can renew the domain name promptly to continue to hold it.

For example, for .com domains, you can generally renew them normally within 30 days of expiration.

2. Domain name expiration enters the high-price redemption period.

If it's determined that the domain name has expired beyond the renewal protection period, it enters the high-price redemption period. If you want to continue to hold the domain name, you must pay a high redemption price of 1,200 yuan. Some cloud service providers charge 1,500 or even 2,000 yuan.

At this point, we need to determine whether the domain's value exceeds the redemption price. If so, we can consider redeeming it at a higher price. If it's just a common domain, then we recommend not redeeming it.

3. Domain Expiration and Entering the Deletion Period

If a domain has expired and entered the deletion period, there's generally no recourse. The domain registry will delete the domain at any time and then reopen it for registration at a later date.

If the domain mentioned above is a common domain, we can wait for it to be deleted and reopened. We can then re-register and continue to own it.
