What happens if I don’t renew my domain and let my domain expire?
Last Updated: September 13, 2025You might be wondering, “Do I have to renew my domain right now?” Sometimes it’s tempting to wait until the very last minute. However, delaying your domain renewal can be surprisingly risky and could even lead to losing your domain, entirely. Here’s what happens when your domain expires, and why it’s so important to renew it on time. The Bad News About Expired Domains When your domain expires through HostHuski (and really anywhere), it is immediately deactivated: A temporary parking page will be displayed. Your website and email services stop working instantly. You cannot update your domain settings or site while it’s expired. At this point, you still have a chance to renew your domain, but the clock is ticking. The Good News: Grace Period (But It’s Not Guaranteed) Our domain vendor provides a non-guaranteed grace period of up to 25–30 days after expiration.

Transferring a domain away from HostHuski
Last Updated: August 9, 2025How to Transfer Your Domain Away from HostHuski We’re sad to see your domain go, but we understand that sometimes you need to move your registration to another provider. Whether you’re consolidating services or making a change for other reasons, we’ll make sure the process is smooth and clear so you can complete your transfer without headaches. If you’re ready to proceed, here’s exactly how to do it through your HostHuski customer portal (powered by WHMCS).

The registrant email address on file must be correct (this is where the transfer approval email goes). Special cases: .UK domains do not use EPP codes. Instead, you’ll provide your new registrar with our IPS tag (we’ll give it to you on request). Moving a domain between HostHuski accounts is a “push” not a transfer. Step 1: Log Into Your HostHuski Portal Go to [your HostHuski client login page]. Enter your email and password, then click Login. Step 2: Unlock Your Domain In the Client Area, click Domains in the top menu. Find the domain you want to transfer...
