We now support any-time domain renewals for people who have domain credits. This applies to all domain types which we allow credit purchases for (.co.uk, .me.uk and .org.uk. .com, .net, .org, .info, .name and .biz). Essentially this allows you to add extra years to your domain name’s expiry, up to the limit that the registry enforces (it will take the appropriate number of credits to do this).<\/p>\n

To set this up, log in to your control panel<\/a>, in \u00a0manage domain names<\/a>, click “Renewal” and it will show you the expiry date and offer the year ranges you can renew for (but ONLY if you have credits of the applicable type). If you don’t have any domain name credits, click here to log in find out more about buying domain name credits<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Whilst other domain registrars already offer a similar service most won’t actually renew it until the domain name has expired. With our system, the domain never expires.<\/p>\n

Please note: As with normal registrations and renewals, this isn’t refundable because it cannot be undone once you commit to it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
