Hello everyone,

It’s a proven fact that when you renew a domain in advance, you tend to increase your chance of domain sales. I’ve published similar posts in the past here and here. As we all know that Verisign recently increased the .com renewal starting 1st November 2026 so I tried my level best to renew as many domains as possible in the very last few days of October.

Currently all my domains are renewed at least one year or more in advance and because I renewed plenty of domains at the end of last month, that brought in 2 sales in the next 48 hours of renewing and another sale a couple of weeks later.

I’ve seen a similar pattern time and time again with myself and fellow domain investors. This post is intended for those who’re renewing domains at a later stage or very close to the expiry date. When you renew in advance, that motivates the buyer to proceed with the purchase rather than waiting for the domain to be dropped, if one is expecting to acquire/register it that way.

From my personal experience, I like to renew domains a lot in advance mainly because of the rainy days. You never know when bad times come in. For this particular reason, I try to keep all my domains renewed for at least one year in advance.

It would be nice to know your experience in this regard if renewing your domains in advance has worked well or not.

Feel free to share your feedback no matter how good or good that is 😉
