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 Austin Data Works to send notification reminders to the
administrative contact for the domain name to be renewed.

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.

Is
it possible to transfer my domain name registration from
another registrar to Austin Data Works 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
Austin Data Works. By transferring your domain name to
Austin Data Works 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 Austin Data Works will add 1 year to
your current expiration date and leave you with 1 year
and 45 days to expiration.

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.
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.

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.

Once
an expired domain has been renewed, how long does it take
for the services to begin working again?
Assuming that the domain DNS and hosts are still in
place, the domain will begin working within 48 hours of
its renewal. We put the domain back into the root immediately,
the delay is caused by propagation out from the root.

How
long can I renew a domain name for?
All gTLD domains have a maximum registration period
of 10 years. Any renewals requests that attempt to bring
a domain past this 10-year period will be rejected.
