A domain name is automatically renewed for one year before the expiry date. If you don't want to keep it, you cancel it.
Steps
Cancel
- Go to Domain registrations.
- In the Renew column, click automatic – cancel next to the name.
- Confirm.
Renew again
- Click lapses – renew again next to the name.
Good to know
- A canceled name lapses on the expiry date. After that, the website and mail on that name stop working.
