Rule changes from domain registry’s have meant that on the anniversary of
the domain renewal, the registry cuts off the domain pending payment for the
next year.

Your host will give you prior notice to the renewal and will probably try to call and
email you personally for each one. If you find the domain has lapsed, simply
logging into your secure control panel system (if you have one) and paying for the domain on
your card, will instantly renew the domain and continue with your website
and email access.

For domains ending in uk, like .co.uk etc, there is a small grace period
after the date of renewal, but the domain can also be released by the
governing body (of which we are direct members) to the general public for
re-registration from 1 to 180 days.

If you want your domain DON’T leave the renewal open to domain hi-jackers
and either secure it for discounted 5 year blocks or renew in plenty of
time!!!

Thank you for taking the time to read.
