You can renew your domain name manually or you can setup Auto Renewal which is an optional feature available with all of our domains.

If this renewal attempt fails, we attempt renewal again on the 3rd day prior to the domain name's expiration date.

If all the renewal attempts fail and you do not manually renew your domain name by the expiration date, you must restore it. For more detailed information on how to recover your domain click here.
