• Your .fm domain renews before its expiration date. The renewal date depends on whether the domain is auto-renewed or renewed manually. Auto-renewal is attempted on the first day of the month prior to the domain's expiration date. If the renewal attempt fails, we re-attempt renewal on the 10th of the month and again on the 20th of the month.
• If we cannot auto-renew the domain and you do not manually renew it by the 20th of the month prior to the expiration date, it must be redeemed. There might be a fee for the redemption. See Renew my expired domain for instructions on the redemption.
• For example: Your .fm domain expires on October 10. If your domain does not renew automatically, you can renew it manually by September 20. For automatic renewals, we attempt to renew the domain name on September 1, September 10, and September 20.
