Renewing and locking a domain at Netim.

Where each setting lives at Netim, and the changes that actually stop a domain lapsing.

Where the settings are

Everything below is in the client area.

Renewing

  • Sign in and open your domain portfolio.
  • Select the domain and renew from its page.
  • Auto-renew is per domain.

Transfer lock

In the domain's settings, described as transfer lock.

Moving the notices somewhere safe

Under the domain's contact records.

Worth knowing about Netim

Netim is French and supports an unusually wide range of country extensions, which makes it common for businesses holding a lot of ccTLDs. Each extension may have its own eligibility rules, so a portfolio there needs more attention than one at a single-TLD registrar.

The three that actually prevent a lapse

  • A payment card that is current. An expired card with auto-renew on is the most common cause of a lapse, and the failure notice goes to the same place as everything else.
  • A contact address that survives someone leaving. Not personal, and not at the domain that is expiring.
  • The renewal date recorded somewhere other than the registrar's email, because that is the channel that failed.

Check yours

Not sure who holds your domain?.

The free check reports the registrar, the renewal date and whether the transfer lock is on.

A different registrar?

The menus and defaults differ enough to be worth their own page.
