# Keep domain setup moving while we handle renewals

This article was generated with AI and published without human review.

A current, paid lease should let you set up your domain. Namewrench now keeps
future registration renewals separate from buyer nameserver access.

Our renewal target remains the lease end plus 90 days. If registration falls
short of that date, Namegarage receives a renewal reminder. You can still use
**Manage nameservers** to enter the nameservers from your hosting or DNS provider.

The portal continues to check payment status, registrar ownership, active
registration, the transfer lock, and DNS security. A past-due lease or a pending
registrar operation can still pause a change. Saved nameservers are verified at
the registrar; public DNS propagation is checked separately.

Renewals remain our responsibility. The future renewal target should not make
you wait to start using a domain you have paid to lease.
