To renew your expired GoDaddy domain, follow these steps based on the information available as of March 11, 2025:

1. Sign In to Your GoDaddy Account:
   • Go to the GoDaddy website and log in to your Domain Portfolio. If you’ve forgotten your credentials, use the “Find your username or password” option to recover them.
2. Locate Your Expired Domain:
   • Once logged in, navigate to your Domain Portfolio.
   • If you don’t immediately see your expired domain, filter your list by selecting “Expiration” above the domain list, then choose “Expired” to display only domains that are past their expiration date.
3. Access Renewal Options:
   • Select the expired domain you want to renew to open its Domain Settings page.
   • Look for the “Renew Now” option on the Renew card and click it.
4. Choose Renewal Settings:
   • Select your desired renewal term (e.g., 1 year, 2 years, etc.).
   • If applicable, check the box next to “Turn on Auto-renew” to prevent future expirations.
   • Click “Continue” to proceed.
5. Complete the Checkout Process:
   • Review your renewal settings and any additional fees (see below for details on potential costs).
   • Finish the process by completing the checkout. Your domain should be active again within 90 minutes, with its updated expiration date reflected in your account.

Important Notes on Timing and Fees:

• Grace Period (Day 0 to Day 18): For the first 18 days after expiration (for .com domains), you can renew at the standard renewal price without extra fees. GoDaddy will attempt auto-renewal on the expiration date and again on day 12 if it’s enabled.
• Redemption Period (Day 19 to Day 30): Starting on day 19, a redemption fee (typically around $80, though this can vary) is added to the standard renewal cost. You can still recover the domain during this window.
• Auction Phase (Day 26 Onward): On day 26, the domain may enter a GoDaddy auction. You can still attempt to renew it with the redemption fee until day 30, unless someone places an active bid, at which point renewal becomes unavailable.
• Beyond Day 30: If the domain reaches day 36, it enters a final closeout auction. After day 72, it’s removed from your account and released back to the registry, making renewal impossible unless it becomes available again for registration.

Additional Tips:

• Check the Timeline: If you don’t see your domain in the expired list, it may be past the renewal or redemption period. Contact GoDaddy support to confirm its status.
• Special Cases: Some domain extensions (e.g., ccTLDs) have unique expiration rules, so the timeline might differ slightly.
• Prevent Future Issues: Enable auto-renew and ensure your payment method is up to date to avoid expiration hassles.

If your domain is already in the auction phase or beyond redemption, you may need to bid on it or wait to re-register it if it becomes available again. For real-time assistance, consider reaching out to GoDaddy’s customer support.
