Managing Domain Renewals and Redemptions

Custom domains purchased through or registered with Vercel are automatically renewed by default with the option to manually renew them.

You can see the expiration or renewal date of your domains in the Domains tab of either your Account Settings page (account-scoped domains) or your team's dashboard.

To enable automatic renewal, follow these steps:

1. Select the Domains tab

   You can choose to prevent the automatic renewal of a Domain from the Domains tab on the Vercel Dashboard.

2. View a domain's advanced settings

   Once on the Domains tab, click on a domain to view its Advanced Settings:

   

3. View the auto renewal status

   If Vercel is the registrar of the domain, the auto renewal status of your Domain will be displayed here.

4. Toggle the auto renewal status

   You can toggle auto renewal from the header in the top right:

   

If auto renewal is off, Vercel will not try to re-register the Domain when it expires at the end of the registration period. You will not be charged for the Domain any longer, but you will lose access to the Domain when it expires. Recovering the Domain, if even possible, may be subject to a redemption fee. Please contact our support team as soon as possible.

Vercel will send you three emails regarding the Domain before this happens. 24 and 14 days before the Domain is set to expire, you will be notified that auto renewal is off and the Domain will expire soon. A final email will notify you when the Domain expires.

If auto renewal is on, Vercel will begin daily attempts to renew the domain one week before the domain expires. You will receive three emails regarding the renewal process: 17 days and 7 days before renewal attempts begin, and finally when the Domain has either been successfully renewed or failed to renew.

1. Select the Domains Tab

   Navigate to the Domains tab on the Vercel Dashboard.

2. View a Domain's Advanced Settings

   Click on a domain to access its Advanced Settings:

   

3. Click the Renew Domain button

   If your domain is eligible for renewal, click the Renew Domain button.

   Your domain must be within 1 year of expiration to be eligible for renewal.

4. Confirm your renewal

   

For expired domains with a redemption period (typically 30 days), you can now recover them directly in the dashboard:

A redemption fee will be applied, depending on the domain registry.

You can filter your Vercel owned domains by their renewal status by clicking the filter icon in the top right of the Domains table:

Third-Party Domains (ones not purchased with or transferred into Vercel) are not subject to auto-renewal. Please refer to your Domain name registrar's policy regarding renewals.
