Renewals
If you do not renew your domain name before the expiry date the domain name will be suspended. You then have 30 days to renew your domain name.

We will not charge you transfer fees for your domain unless we ourselves have been charged. If there is a fee we will let you know. Moving domains to or from our nominet tag does not incur a fee from us but the company you are leaving may charge you. If the total fee for moving uk domains is more than £12 please contact us for advice.
