What Is Domain Renewal?

Domain renewal is the extension of a domain name registration for the next period (typically 1 year or more, depending on the domain zone rules). After renewal, the domain remains active, and you keep the right to use the domain name.

In simple terms, renewing a domain means paying for the next period so the domain does not expire and become available for others to register. It is recommended to renew in advance and watch registrar notifications to avoid website/email downtime and the risk of losing the domain.
