Renew or restore a domain name
This guide explains how to renew or restore a domain name registered with Infomaniak.
Preamble
- You are automatically notified by email (at the address you mentioned) when one of your domain names is about to expire.
- If this domain name is not renewed before its expiration date, it enters a redemption period during which it can still be recovered/restored.
- The restoration fees and the duration of the redemption period are variable depending on the extension concerned.
- Once the redemption period has elapsed, the domain name is free and can be reserved again by anyone.
- If your domain is important for your activities, Renewal Warranty ensures that you will never lose it: Infomaniak will do everything in its power to ensure that you keep it even if you do not renew it on time.
Renew a domain name before expiration
Renewing one or several domain names follows the exact same process as renewing any other Infomaniak service. Refer to this other guide if you are looking for information on how to renew the relevant product.
