• Check the status of your domain. It must be valid for a minimum of 15 days from its expiry.
• Your domain administrator details must be correct and up-to-date (should be the same as those registered with WHOIS).
• Ensure you have access to the Auth/EPP code of the domain or acquire it from your current registrar.
• The domain needs to be unlocked with the current registrar.

C. Open the Domain Management tab. Select your domain from the left side panel if D. you have multiple domains.

B. Navigate to your domain’s area by clicking on “Domains”.
