Renewed your .barcelona domain yet?

When you register any internet domain you do so for a specific period of time, normally a year. Once that period expires, if you don’t renew the domain it becomes available so that any other interested party can register it.

How do I know when my domain expires?

The user panel with your registration company displays the date of purchase and the expiry date of your .barcelona domain, as well as any other services contracted with them (hosting, personalised email etc.). You can also renew your .barcelona domain from the panel and keep it active for your website and/or email.

It’s important to understand that you don’t need to wait until the last minute to renew your .barcelona domain. It can be renewed in advance without forfeiting the period in between. For example, if your domain expires on 10 January 2021, you can renew it now and it will remain active until 10 January 2022. This means you will never lose out on the time your domain is valid for or be at risk of losing it.


I’ve got a discount code for renewal. When can I use it?

If you got a discount code from one of the .barcelona promotions you need to bear two things in mind:

  1. Whether your registration company is one of those which accepts the discount code.
  2. Whether the code is still valid and hasn’t expired.

Don’t leave it until the last minute and renew your domain to take advantage of the discount code.
