Last updated on Aug 05, 2025

To renew an expired domain name with Epycbyte, follow these steps:

  1. Confirm Domain Status: Ensure your domain is listed as expired on Epycbyte.

  2. Access Your Account: Log in to your Epycbyte account using your credentials.

  3. Locate Your Domain: Navigate to the Domains section to find your specific domain name.

  4. Initiate Renewal:

    • Click on the domain name to view its details.
    • Look for a renewal option, typically found under the domain management or billing section.
    • Follow the prompts to complete the renewal process.
  5. Review and Confirm: Double-check all details, such as registrant information, before finalizing the renewal.

  6. Set Up Automatic Renewal (Optional): To avoid future expiration issues, enable auto-renewal through your account settings. This ensures your domain renews automatically each year.

Important Notes:

  • After expiration, emails sent to your domain may be lost if not renewed within 30 days.
  • DNS changes might take up to 48 hours due to propagation after renewal.
  • Contact details cannot be edited once the domain is expired; consider adding privacy protection if needed.
  • Epycbyte sends reminders via two emails (primary and Registrant) before and on expiration dates.
