How to Renew a Blogspot Custom Domain

Last year, a neighborhood association needed a blog to post updates about what was happening with the pool and other extremely local events. In response, I set them up with a Blogger aka Blogspot account with a custom domain. Today, I was going nuts trying to figure out how to renew the domain. After digging for 45 minutes, I came across a post by LMckin51. The suggestion? Use the following address and replace the ending with your domain (no need for the http://www.) – https://www.google.com/a/cpanel/domain/renew-domain/REPLACE_THIS_WITH_YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME  You’ll be pointed to Google Checkout to renew for $10.  Problem solved.

"I came across your post and it helped me sooo much."
Are you sure that this is true?

Thanks so much for this. I was searching all over and this helped way more than the info on Google.

@Scentsy, I sure don't know how to renew for any longer than that. Terribly sorry.

You can't renew and then try it again to renew for another year.. it's telling me it was already renewed. I contacted enom and they said that we're only allowed to renew for one year at a time. Any suggestions?

Thank you Nan, I was looking for the same. I was having a blogger domain which was expired on the dead date due to expiry of the card and I never got it back. Really appreciating job.

Thank you soooo much for this!!! My deadline is fast approaching and i have been having so many problems with blogger and not being able to renew my domain was kind of the last straw- why don't they have a button "renew here"- seems so ridiculous. Really i should be switching to wordpress but after a year of customizing my blog, i'd be so disappointed to have to start all over again. so alas, i will renew and continue on with blogger despite my frustrations with it. what i really need is someone who is ultra html proficient who can help me out....till then, thank you!!!!

You're most welcome. I had to write this to keep others from losing their domains (and minds!). Thanks for stopping by!

I came across that link in my search to renew too. I'm not due until August but figured I'd get it out of the way before we got summer crazy. Does anyone know how to renew for more than one year?

Thank you for dropping a line. I can't seem to find a way to select a multi-year renewal. My suggestion is just to go back every few days and repeat this process until you've renewed for as many years as you'd like. I know it's not optimal, but we remain at Google's mercy until they work on this UI.
