Renewing your Domain Name

When you register a domain name, it is registered to you for a certain number of years i.e., until its Registration term expires. If you plan to continue using it beyond its Expiry Date, then you need to renew it.

You can renew your domain name from your Control Panel by following the below mentioned process:

  1. Login to your Control Panel, search for the domain name and proceed to the Order Details view. Click here to learn how to accomplish this >>
     
    IMPORTANT
     
    • Customers: You can renew only those domain names which do not have any Lock. In case your domain name has been Locked/Suspended by Redcapdomains.com, you will not be able to immediately renew your domain name. You need to contact our Support Team at gauravgupta@snowebs.co.in to get this issue resolved.
       
    • Resellers: You can renew only those domain names which either do not have any Lock or have not been Locked by you. Domain names Locked by Redcapdomains.com cannot be renewed by you.

      Similarly, you can only renew those domain names that have not been Suspended. Moreover, you can NOT renew domain names that are registered through your Sub-Resellers. From your Reseller Admin Control Panel, you can only renew domain names registered by your immediate Customers; for all other domain names, the Renew link in the Order Details view would be disabled.
       
     
  2. Click the Renew link, which will take you to the Renewal page.
     
  3. From the dropdown box, select the numbers of years for which you wish to renew this domain name.
     
  4. Then proceed to pay for the Renewal.

The Renewal would be affected immediately.

If you wish to renew more than one domain name at a time, you may do so from the Renewal Management interface. Click here to know how to renew Domain Names in Bulk >>

 

IMPORTANT
  • A Renewal action, once completed, cannot be reversed. The only option would be deleting the domain name, in case the same is no longer required. Click here to know how a domain name can be deleted >>
     
  • The .EU Registry allows Renewal of a domain name for only one year. However, Redcapdomains.com allows you to place a Renewal action for multiple years. If you choose to renew your .EU domain name for more than one year, then Redcapdomains.com will renew the domain name at its end for the number of years selected. You can be rest assured that once this one year term in completed, Redcapdomains.com will renew your domain name for a further year, until the Renewal term you had requested ends.
     
  • As per the .UK Registry regulations, a .UK domain name
     
    1. can be at the earliest renewed only six months before its Expiry Date, and
       
    2. can only be renewed for 2 years.

  • You will encounter the below error message in case the domain name is locked/suspended at the Registry (and not under our system) or an outbound Transfer for the domain name to another Registrar is under process -

    Domain Status does not allow this operation.

    In case of
     
    • a lock/suspension at the Registry, contact our Support Team at gauravgupta@snowebs.co.in to know the reason for lock/suspension and how the lock/suspension may be removed.
       
    • an outbound Transfer, you may
       
      • either cancel the Transfer through link listed in the email sent to the Registrant/Administrative Contact of the domain name and then perform the required modification, or
      • wait for the Transfer to complete and then carry out the desired modification at the New Registrar.
