Renewal timelines for country-code Top-Level Domains (ccTLDs)

Understanding the renewal rules and specific ccTLD renewal timelines for your domain name is crucial to keeping your website online. While many generic extensions can be renewed up to their expiration date, certain country-code top-level domains (ccTLDs) have special requirements set by their respective registries. This guide outlines the specific ccTLD renewal timelines you need to be aware of.

Important: Failure to renew your domain name according to the timeline set by its registry may result in the loss of your domain. It is your responsibility to renew your services on time.

Please find your domain extension in the table below to review the required ccTLD renewal timelines and determine how many days before its expiration date it must be renewed.

Review

Understanding and adhering to these ccTLD renewal timelines is essential to protect your domain from premature registry deletion and prevent service interruptions. Because country-code top-level domain registries enforce strict cut-off deadlines that can occur up to 57 days prior to expiration, make sure to renew early or ensure that automatic renewal is active on your account.
