Maintain and renew your domain name

Registrant of a .fr or a .re domain name is entitled to use their domain name for one year.
To be maintained, a domain name must be renewed every year.

A .fr or a .re domain name is automatically renewed.

You are charged by your registrar for the renewal.

If you choose to not renew your domain name, your registrar send to AFNIC a request to delete it. Once removed, it can be recreated on behalf on a new holder.
