This page describes how to manually renew a domain that has expired.
To renew your domain, complete the following steps.
Before you begin
You can renew your domain only within 30 days of its expiration date.
If you choose to enable automatic renewal settings, you must enable it 15 days
before the expiration date. Learn how to
change automatic renewal settings.
For domains that use a country-code TLD, you must wait 72 hours
after the expiration date before you can renew those domains.
