How to Renew Domain Names

There are two ways to renew domain name purchases at Porkbun: automatically and manually. If you have a credit card on file and auto-renew is turned on for a domain, domain renewal will happen automatically as the domain expiration date approaches. If you’d prefer to manually renew domain names or add multiple years of registration, however, you can do so from the Domain Management menu.
