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 renewal at once, you can do so from the Domain Management menu.

How Do I Renew a Domain at Porkbun?

We’ve made domain renewal at Porkbun super easy. Follow these steps and you’ll be on your way!

1
Log in to your Porkbun account. You will arrive at the Domain Management screen. If you're already logged in, click on ACCOUNT in the top-right corner and select "Domain Management."

2
Locate the domain you wish to renew. Click the refresh/recycle icon to the right of the domain name under the "RENEW" column, then select the "Add Renewal to Cart" option. This menu also allows you to enable or disable automatic renewal for the domain.

You'll be taken to your cart, where you can see your domain name with a year of renewal added to it. If you wish to add additional years of renewal, click on the "1 Year" option and select up to nine additional years of registration.

Note

The amount of registration for a domain may never exceed ten years. If your domain already has multiple years of registration, you will be prohibited from purchasing registration that extends beyond that 10-year limit.

Once you're ready to check out, click "Continue to Billing" to complete your domain renewal purchase. Once you have paid, the additional registration will immediately be visible in your account, and in WHOIS databases. 

That's it! Your domain has been successfully renewed. If you have multiple domains you need to renew at once, you can save some time by taking advantage of our Bulk Management feature.
