Domain Name Renewal

Renewing a NetRegistry Domain Name

When your domain name nears the end of its registration period, NetRegistry sends reminder emails, advising your domain is due for renewal. To renew your domain, from this reminder, simply click on the link provided. Alternatively when logged-in to The Console, the top of the screen shows a list of domain names attached to your account due for renewal. Clients can renew these domains from The Console or via the website here.

If you do not have access to The Console, you can retrieve your details online here. Alternatively, you can complete our manual domain renewal form.

The Renewal Process

  1. The Current Contact listed receives all notifications relevant to renewals. The details of the Current Contact can be changed here.
  2. The Current Contact will be emailed 90 days, 30 days and 5 days from the expiry date of a domain name, regarding a pending domain name renewal.
  3. The Current Contact can click on the link (in the email) and instantly renew the name, as long as there are funds available on the account. Payments can be made via a credit card.
  4. Only the listed Current Contact can stop the reminder messages and allow the domain name to lapse.
  5. If these emails bounce, the Current Contact will be sent a single postal renewal notice.

Domain Names registered with another company

To renew a domain, registered with another company, you will need to transfer your domain to NetRegistry. Click here to transfer the domain name.

After completing the Transfer form, clients will be able to transfer their domain and have it renewed at the same time.

When is a domain name due for renewal?

You can check the expiration date of your domain by logging in to The Console, and checking the “DomainName” link. The expiry date will be listed at the top of the page.

De-registering a Domain Name

If your domain name has not been renewed by the end of its registration period, it will automatically lapse. To cancel these renewal reminders notices, log in to The Console and elect to lapse the domain registration, at the bottom of the renewal page.

Canceling a Domain Registration

To cancel the registration of your domain name before the domain is due to lapse, simply send a written request, on the letterhead of the organisation who owns the domain licence. If an individual owns the domain, include a copy of photo identification to cancel the domain licence. Requests must be dated, signed and can be either;

  • emailed: domains@netregistry.com.au in JPG or PDF format,
  • faxed: 02 9699 6088 or
  • mailed: NetRegistry Domain Administration, PO Box 270 Broadway NSW 2008.
