Why does my domain appear in WHOIS as "Renewal In Progress"?

If you perform a WHOIS check on your .uk domain name and discover that it is listed as “Renewal in progress”, you do not need to worry.

When you purchase a renewal for your .uk domain name through Heart Internet, we submit the renewal to Nominet for processing. Nominet then updates the WHOIS information to show that the renewal is in progress.

This is an automatic process and may take a few days. During this period, you should not lose access to your domain or website, and the renewal will continue to be processed as normal.

If the status remains as “Renewal in progress” for several days, or you have any concerns about your renewal, please contact our support team.
