The renewal of an expired domain name typically takes effect immediately after the renewal is successfully processed, provided the domain is still within its grace period or redemption period. If the domain has entered the pending delete phase, it cannot be renewed until it is released back into the pool of available domains, which usually takes about 30 to 45 days after expiration, depending on the registry's policies.
For example, if a domain expires on January 1st and is renewed on January 5th during the grace period, the renewal will take effect on January 5th, and the domain's expiration date will be extended accordingly. However, if the domain enters the pending delete phase, it must wait until it is released before it can be registered again, and the renewal will not take effect until that time.
In the context of cloud services, if you are managing domain names through a cloud provider's DNS or domain management services, such as Tencent Cloud's Domain Name Service (DNSPod), you can easily renew your domain names through the platform. Tencent Cloud's DNSPod offers a user-friendly interface for managing domain registrations, renewals, and DNS settings, ensuring your domains remain active and accessible without interruption.
