From renewal to release
A domain doesn’t just “expire”
Between the renewal date and losing the name there are stages, each with its own rules and costs. On the domains we look after, our reminders come before the renewal date.
-
Registered
Day one. The name is yours for the years you pay for, registered through OpenSRS, or CIRA for .ca.
-
Renewal due
The anniversary comes round. We send reminders before it does, and longer terms cost less per year.
-
Grace period
The renewal date has passed. You can still renew without the redemption fee, for a time that depends on the ending.
-
Redemption
+ $150
The grace time is over and the domain stops working. You can still get it back, for an extra $150.
-
Dropped
Released after a short wait. Anyone can register it then, and the only way back is to register it again, if it’s still free.
Moving a domain to us
Bring your domain over.
The same three steps for one domain or a dozen.
Step 1
Unlock it and get the code
At your current registrar, remove the transfer lock and ask for the transfer code (also called an EPP or auth code).
Step 2
Send it to us
We start the transfer through OpenSRS, and set up the domain’s DNS on our own servers.
Step 3
Approve the move
If your current registrar asks you to approve the transfer, say yes, and the domain is with us.
Straight answers
Questions people ask us.
How much does a domain cost?
$24 a year for .com, .net, .org and most others, and $29 a year for .ca. Longer terms cost less per year.
What happens if I miss a renewal?
For a while you can still renew without the redemption fee. After that, getting the name back costs an extra $150, and once it’s dropped, anyone can register it.
Will you remind me before it renews?
Yes. We send renewal reminders before your domain comes due.
Can you move my domain from another registrar?
Yes. Unlock it, get the transfer code from your current registrar and send it to us. We take it from there.
Do I have to manage it myself?
No. Register it yourself in our portal, or call or write and we’ll register it and look after it for you.
Where does my domain’s DNS run?
On our own servers in Kamloops, for the domains we register or manage.
Who’s the registrar?
Registrations go through OpenSRS, and .ca names through CIRA, the registry for .ca names.
Which endings can I register?
.com, .net, .org, .info, .mobi, .biz, .pro, .name, .asia, .tel and .ca. The search on this page checks .com, .ca, .net and .org; for anything else, ask us.
