That’s what I had to do, yep… I’m surprised this problem still exists and more people are being affected by it this way, but somehow they manage to get away with it.

Got the same problem, but how am I supposed to pay the renewal fee if there’s no option from the UI? Am I supposed to contact support?

And yet another casualty from me. My co.uk became ‘inactive’ several weeks before its actual expiry, and my only option seems to be ‘recovery’ … which is a forced 2 year subscription to godaddy.
I am not impressed. I can heartily recommend people steer clear.

The same thing is happening with my .jp address. I think Bob Parsons is more interested in his godaddy girls than his customers.

I paid their renewal fees, and the domain is no longer in my account, i have mailed them and am still waiting for a reply.

I only had this issue with the .DE domains, but I believe the same ‘rules’ apply at godaddy and they’ll block them before they actually expire. From what I know and understand this is against the registrar rules.

have you also encountered a “pending status” after renewing or registering your .CO.UK domain?
