You can renew your domain name from your Control Panel by following the below mentioned process:

Login to your Control Panel. 1

Search for the domain name and proceed to the Order Information view. 2

Click the Renew button. About Lock / Suspension

From the Renew for drop-down box, select the numbers of years for which you wish to renew this domain name. You may renew the Privacy Protection service along with the domain name, by selecting the Include Privacy checkbox.

Click the Renew Domain Name button.

Proceed to Pay for the Renewal.
