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.

I now feel obliged to inform ANYONE about these scams… this is the deal!

Because of the requirements of law, your name and address usually is searchable for the legal owner of the domain name, and as such various companies use this information to send you a renewal invoice when they have no control or administration of your domain.

This could be in the form of a letter or email, so please be aware they are bogus and are a scam, these include companies called Domain Regsitry of America and Oxford Domains etc

Please note: YOU SHOULD ONLY pay your host for the renewal of any domain / domain related service as they look after YOU and YOUR company.

If in any doubt do not hesitate to call or email your service provider.

Never, ever, oblige these letters or emails as they are only after your domain name and your money!
