Paid domain mapping renewal but still shows as expiring

  • Unknown's avatar

    I own my UK domain name (and have recently paid the renewal with my local registrar).
    I have the domain mapped to my wordpress blog and paid the $12 mapping fee renewal via paypal on 4 August
    But my dashboard still shows a red warning that the domain mapping is due to expire later this month.
    Is there a time delay following payment, or is there something else I need to do join the dots?
    It seems the support team are all away this week, so if anyone out there knows, I’d be very grateful

    This is something staff will have to answer for you. I’ll tag this thread for their attention and hopefully they will respond in a few hours.

    There should be no delay – I did a manual renew (I had the auto-renew enabled but disabled it and did it manually then re-enabled the auto-renew) and I received an email in a few minutes and the expire date in the Dashboard changed within a few seconds as I remember.

    However as @TSP has noted above your renewal requires the staff to address what ever happened.

  • Your domain is good through August 22, 2012. You should still see the red warning, but it should state 2012 at the end.

    The reason for “Expiring” is that auto-renew wasn’t enabled, so you could think of it as your domain is in the process of expiring on August 22, 2012, if you do not manually renew.

    Doh! Thank you. August 2012 is really not so urgent.
