Step 1: Log in to Your Hosting Provider Account

Visit your hosting or domain registrar’s website and sign in.

Examples:

Use the same login you used when you first registered the domain.


Step 2: Go to the Domain Management Section

Once logged in:

  1. Look for “Domains”, “My Domains”, or “Domain List”

  2. You’ll see all the domains you own

  3. Find the domain linked to your Plesk website and click Manage or Details


Step 3: Check Expiration Date and Status

In the domain settings, you can view:

  • Expiration Date

  • Next Billing Date

  • Status (active, expired, pending renewal)

  • Auto-Renew Status (on or off)

 Domains must be renewed before the expiration date to avoid service interruption.


Step 4: Enable or Disable Auto-Renewal

Most providers allow automatic renewal for domains, which is highly recommended.

  1. Look for the Auto-Renewal toggle or checkbox

  2. Click to enable (or disable, if you plan to let it expire)

  3. Make sure a valid payment method is saved

Auto-renewal helps prevent your domain from expiring accidentally and going offline.


Step 5: Check and Understand Domain Pricing

In the domain’s billing section, you can find:

Item What It Means
Renewal Price Cost to renew the domain for 1 year
Transfer Price If you move the domain to another registrar
Grace Period Fees Extra charges if you renew after expiration
Multi-Year Discount Some providers offer 2- or 3-year deals

Prices may change yearly — check your provider’s pricing page for the latest rates.


Step 6: Renew a Domain Manually (Optional)

If auto-renew is off, you can manually renew:

  1. Go to Billing or Renewals

  2. Select the domain you want to renew

  3. Click Renew Now

  4. Choose a billing cycle (1 year, 2 years, etc.)

  5. Complete payment
