How to Renew a .gy Domain — Step by Step
Renewing your .gy domain before it expires is critical — once a domain lapses, anyone can register it. This guide walks you through the full renewal process on Register.gy.
Step 1: Log In to Your Dashboard
Go to register.gy/client-area and log in with the email address you used to register your domain.
Step 2: Find Your Domain
Under My Domains, locate the domain you want to renew. You will see its current expiry date. Domains can be renewed up to 60 days before they expire.
Step 3: Select a Renewal Period
Choose 1, 2, or 3 years. Renewing for multiple years locks in the current price and removes the risk of forgetting again.
Step 4: Complete Payment
Pay by credit or debit card (USD) via Stripe or MMG Mobile Money (GYD). Renewal is confirmed and applied instantly. Your new expiry date updates at the official Guyana registry (CoCCA) within minutes.
When Should You Renew?
Renew at least 30 days before expiry. Most registrars send reminder emails 60 and 30 days out. If you miss them, the domain enters a redemption period — during which recovery costs significantly more than a standard renewal.
What Happens if a .gy Domain Expires?
Expired .gy domains go through a short grace period, then a redemption period, before they become available for anyone to register. If your business is running on that domain — email, website, clients — expiry is a serious operational risk. Set a reminder, or renew for 3 years and forget about it.
How much does it cost to renew a .gy domain?
Renewal costs 5 USD per year — the same flat rate as registration. No markup, no hidden fees.
Can I renew a .gy domain that has already expired?
Yes, within the redemption grace period. Contact support immediately — recovery is possible but may cost more than a standard renewal. After the grace period ends, the domain is released and anyone can register it.
Will I get a reminder before my .gy domain expires?
Yes. Register.gy sends renewal reminder emails 60 days and 30 days before expiry to the email on your account. Keep your contact email up to date.
