Domain names from certain country-codes and specialty domain types (TLDs) require a specific renewal process.
There are some domains that require auto-renew only. This means they cannot be renewed manually by placing a renewal order or extending the renewable period.
To make sure these domains renew, the domain's auto-renew setting must be enabled prior to the "Delete by" and "Auto-renew before" date. If the setting is disabled and it has gone past the "Renew by" date, then the domain name will be inactive immediately.
The domain goes straight into the [redemption period] and will need to be retrieved for an additional fee.
Please note, If you no longer require the domain then it is safe to disable auto-renew, [instructions can be found here].
