When you register your domain name (www.companyname.com), your name, email address, and physical address become public knowledge unless you pay extra for a private registration. You may receive email notices or letters from websites saying that you need to renew your domain name—typically at a much higher price. These notices may appear to be from your own registrar. You can avoid spam and fraud by (1) finding out where your domain name is registered and (2) privately registering your domain name so your name, email, address is not visible worldwide.

Your actual registrar will send you an email notice once when it is time to renew your name. If your name expires—it is still possible to renew it within a certain time period.
Two reputable low cost registrars are www.1and1.com and www.godaddy.com .
