Renewing a domain you already own cannot be linked to from outside — it needs your account session — so those links open each registrar's own page for .ac. .ac is a country-code TLD, so ICANN's transfer rules do not apply — its registry sets its own terms, and a transfer here may not add a year at all. Check with the registry before assuming anything from the transfer guide. None of these links earns this site anything today — see disclosure.
If you let it expire
Recovering a lapsed .ac costs $130.00 at Dynadot — a restore fee, not a renewal, and 2.9× the cheapest renewal above. The redemption window is 30 days by Dynadot's reckoning, then 5 more before the name is deleted. Dynadot is the only registrar tracked here that publishes this figure, so it is one registrar's price rather than a market rate — the rest are here.
