Expiry Protection prevents you from losing a domain if the credit card on file expires or a renewal payment fails due to another error. Instead of being released for public registration, your domain will be held securely for up to one year after its expiry date.

Key points:

• Your domain will not be deleted immediately if payment fails.

• We will hold the domain for one year after expiry.

• During this time, the domain cannot be registered by anyone else.

This gives you extra time to update your payment method and renew your domain without risk of losing it. For more details, please visit our Enhanced Security page.
