### Renewal Fees

You can extend the registration time of your **.ETH** name at any moment and you can pay in advance for as many years as you'd like. The fees for renewals are set by the[ ENS Dao](https://docs.ens.domains/v/governance/) and are the same as the initial registration cost based on the length of the name:&#x20;



**5 characters or longer cost $5/year**

**4 character names cost $160/year**

**3 character names cost $640/year**

### Did you know you can [renew any ENS](../../profile-features/bulk-renew-ens) domains, even if you're not the owner?&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
That's right! Any User can renew a name for someone else! The ability for any Ethereum account to renew any name is a function that is only there for your convenience. Paying to renew a name that does not belong to you does not give you ownership of the name nor does it make it such that you will receive the name if it expires.&#x20;
