How to Renew Your Domain Name¶
In order to make it as easy as possible for you to renew your domain name, there are multiple methods you may use. Any one of these methods will work on its own. You may also want to read about automatic renewal.
If you have purchased any additional mailboxes for your domain these will also be renewed alongside your domain.
Renew from Gandi’s Home Page¶
From Gandi.net’s home page, click “Renew” underneath the main search bar. Type in the name of the domain you want to renew. Or, click the icon directly to the left of the search bar to search for multiple domains at once.
Click the shopping cart icon next to the domain to add it to your shopping cart. Once it is added a green check mark will appear. You can remove the domain from your shopping cart by clicking the green check mark.
When you are ready click “Checkout” in the top right corner to complete your order.
Warning
Renewing a domain you do not own will only renew it for the current owner. You cannot claim ownership of a domain by renewing it.
Renew From Your List of Domains¶
You can also renew multiple domains by selecting them from the list in your account. To get to this list log in and click “Domain” in the left navigation menu.
The list can be displayed in advanced view or simple view. You can switch between these views by clicking the buttons next to the search bar above the list of domains.
Simple View¶
In simple view each domain will have “Renew” next to the domain name. Clicking “Renew” will add the renewal for that domain to your shopping cart. When you are ready to complete your order click on the shopping cart in the top right corner and complete the checkout process.
Advanced View¶
In domain view each domain will have a checkbox next to it. The main advantage of advanced view is you can add search filters to narrow your list. You can then check every domain in the current list by clicking the empty check box in the title row, at the very top of the list. You can also check or uncheck each domain individually.
Once you have selected all the domains you wish to renew you can click “Renew” in the menu that will pop up at the bottom of the screen. This will add the renewals to your shopping cart.
When you are ready to complete your order click on the shopping cart in the top right corner and complete the checkout process.
Renew From Domain Overview¶
You can also renew your domain from the management page in your account, where you can manage all the settings connected to your domain. You can find this page by logging in, then clicking “Domain” in the left menu, then clicking on the name of your domain.
You can then click “Add renewal order to shoppping cart” or you can click “Enable” next to the block which says “Automatic renewal disabled.” You learn more about automatic renewal on our automatic renewal doc page.
