.JP Domain Names
This article explains the requirements and special procedures for .JP domain names.
Renewing a .JP domain
Auto-renewal only
This TLD doesn’t support manual renewals. To successfully renew the domain, auto-renewal must be enabled at least 30 days before the domain’s expiration date. For more information, view our Auto-Renewal Required Domains article.
If auto-renewal is not enabled, the domain will be scheduled for removal 12 days prior to expiration. The registrar can deactivate it at any point during this period (even before the expiration date). It is possible to restore the domain before final deletion, but the registry will charge a redemption fee.
Transferring a .JP domain away from DNSimple
Transfers are not possible if the domain is expiring within the next 30 days.
After a successful transfer, a 60-day transfer lock will be set from the Registry.
