Renew domains and use auto-renew
Keep your .st names active with manual renewal or wallet auto-renew on Dot.st.
Step 1: Sign in to Dot.st and open Domains. Find the name you want to renew and note the expiry date shown on the row or detail page.
Step 2: For a one-time renewal, open the domain and choose Renew. Confirm the fee — whole dollars from your wallet — and submit. The new expiry date updates after the registry accepts the renewal.
Step 3: To automate future renewals, enable Auto-renew on the domain or from portfolio settings where available. Dot.st attempts renewal before expiry using your wallet balance.
Step 4: Keep your wallet funded. Open Billing on Dot.st to add funds manually or turn on auto top-up so renewals do not fail overnight.
Step 5: Watch for low-balance emails. If renewal fails for insufficient funds, top up quickly — registry grace periods are limited.
Step 6: After renewal, confirm the updated expiry in Domains and save your invoice from Billing for your records.
