FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it important to renew my domain?

Your domain name is your online identity. If it expires, your website will go offline, your emails will stop working, and eventually, the domain will be released to the public where someone else or a competitor can buy it.

When should I renew my domain?

We recommend renewing your domain at least 30 days before its expiration date. Alternatively, enable Auto-Renewal in your dashboard so our system handles it automatically.

How do I set up Auto-Renewal?

Log into your NairoCloud client area, navigate to 'My Domains', select your domain, and toggle the 'Auto Renew' status to On. Ensure you have a valid payment method on file.

What happens if my domain expires?

Immediately upon expiration, your website and email will stop functioning. You usually have a 30-day grace period to renew the domain at the normal price. After this, it enters a Redemption Grace Period.

What is the Redemption Grace Period?

If a domain is not renewed during the standard grace period, it enters Redemption. During this 30-day phase, recovering the domain is still possible but requires paying a significant redemption fee imposed by the registry.

Can someone else buy my expired domain?

Yes. Once the Redemption Grace Period ends, the domain goes into a 'Pending Delete' status and is shortly after released back to the public pool. Domain investors often use automated software to quickly grab expiring domains.

How many years in advance can I renew?

You can renew most top-level domains (like .com, .net, .org) for up to 10 years at a time. Renewing for multiple years protects you from future registry price increases.

Will I receive reminders before expiration?

Yes, NairoCloud sends multiple email notifications starting 60 days before your domain's expiration date, ensuring you have ample warning to renew.

Can I renew a domain if I transferred it recently?

Yes, but keep in mind that a recent transfer already added one year to the registration. You can still manually add more years up to the 10-year maximum limit.

Is the renewal price the same as the registration price?

Domain registries occasionally run first-year promotional pricing. Renewals are billed at the standard, regular rate for that specific TLD. You can view all transparent renewal pricing on our domains page.

How do I update my payment method for Auto-Renewal?

In your NairoCloud client area, go to 'Billing' -> 'Payment Methods' to add a new credit card or update an existing one to ensure your auto-renewals process smoothly.

If my domain expires, does my hosting expire too?

No, domain registration and web hosting are billed as separate services. However, if your domain expires, people won't be able to reach the hosting server using that domain name.
