You can see all your expiring domain names here, if you want to see more, change the display number per page on bottom. and then, you can either click Renew buttons for all expiring domains one by one, or click the Manage button on the top right corner to open the domain manage interface;

In the screen first we clicked the Expires column header to sort all domains by expires date, which we could see all expiring domains through, then we could select multiple domains which we were going to renew, the next we clicked Renew menu on the top and select Renew Domain sub menu option:

5: Then we saw a popup window to let us buy extra features on domains, we just click Next and Finish button to ignore them. You should not do either if you do not want to pay extra money but just renew domains;

6: We were accessed to CheckOut screen, here we could adjust the domain renewal years, add new features if you want, and we had chance to input Godaddy promo code to get discount, but it was not easy to find a Godaddy promo code in recent years, most of time you have to wait Godaddy gives you promo code by emails; or Godaddy gives you discount automatically when you check out;

7: For checking out, you just do the similar process with any other online purchasing checking out; “Place your order” is the billing information submit button and checkout button, after you clicking it, check whether you received order successful message and confirm email. if yes, then your Godaddy renewal process finished, and your domains got renewed.
