Overview
Renewing a premium .CO domain requires the EPP Fee Extension with the exact renewal fee. The renewal price equals the initial registration price (High-High Premium Renewal model — e.g. a Tier 6 domain costs $1,000 to renew each year).
Required Steps
- Check the renewal price using domain:check with the fee:check extension (fee:command name='renew').
- Submit domain:renew EPP command including: domain name, current expiry date, renewal period, and fee extension (fee:renew with fee:currency USD and fee:fee matching the renewal price).
- Verify the response confirms successful renewal and the new expiry date.
Auto-Renew Behaviour
If Auto-Renew is enabled on your account, premium domains auto-renew at the domain's premium renewal price. The 45-day Auto-Renew Grace Period applies — delete within this window to receive a credit.
Fee Mismatch
If the fee:fee value does not match the Registry's renewal price, the renew command will be rejected. Always check the current price before renewing.
