1. How will I know when it's time to renew my domain
name?
There are two ways to determine when your domain name
is up for renewal. The first is to perform a Whois Search
and look at the expiration date for your domain. The
second is to wait for Interface Technologies Inc. to
send notification to the administrative contact of the
need for the domain name to be renewed.
2.
Can I renew my domain name before the term is up?
Yes. You can renew your domain name at any time during
its term.
3.
How much does a domain name renewal cost?
The fee for renewal is $39 - $49 per domain name per year
- the same as the rates to purchase a domain name.
4.
How will you notify me that my domain name needs to
be renewed?
E-mail is the most popular method of contact for notifying
registrants that their domain name need to be renewed.
As such, it is VERY IMPORTANT that the contact information
listed in the whois database for your domain name is
correct.
5.
Is it possible to transfer my domain name registration
from another registrar to Interface Technologies and
renew it through you instead?
Yes. You will however need to initiate a registrar transfer
of your domain name in order to renew it through Interface
Technologies Inc. By transferring your domain name to
Interface Technologies Inc. you are automatically renewing
it for 1-year as well.
i.e. If your domain name currently has 45 days to expiration,
transferring it to Interface Technologies Inc. will
add 1 year to your current expiration date and leave
you with 1 year and 45 days to expiration.
6.
My domain name has just expired, is it still possible
to renew it?
Once a domain name expires, there is a 40-day "grace
period" within which a renewal is still possible,
but only through the current registrar. If you want
to take advantage of Interface's low prices make sure
to renew before your name expires.
After
the grace period has run out however, you will not be
able to renew your domain name. The domain will be deleted
and made available for the general public to register.
You may be able to register your domain name again,
provided another party does not register it before you.
7.
What happens if I don't renew my domain name?
If you do not renew it, your domain name will be deleted
from the main registry and will stop working.
It will then be deleted and will become available for
any other interested party to register.
