1 Renewal restrictions

Your .me domain name renews on its expiration date. Auto-renewal is attempted on the domain name's expiration date. If the renewal attempt fails, we re-attempt renewal on the 5 days later and again 7 days after that.

If we cannot auto-renew the domain name and you do not manually renew it by the 12th day after the expiration date, it must be redeemed. There might be a fee for the redemption. see Recovering expired domain names for instructions on the redemption.

For example: Your .me domain name expires on October 10. If your domain name does not renew automatically, you can renew it manually by October 29. For automatic renewals, we attempt to renew the domain name on October 10, October 15, and October 22.

2 Account change restrictions

When the domain name is moved, the registrant first name, last name, and company name cannot be changed.
