Changing the Automatic Renewal Option for Your Domain Names
You can change the automatic renewal option for your domain names at any time. You can set your domain names to renew automatically upon expiration, or you can manually renew them prior to their expiration dates.
You can also set your domain names to maintain specific registration lengths with Extended Auto-Renew. For more information, see What is Extended Auto-Renew?
If you set your domain names to auto-renew, we attempt to renew them and bill your credit card if the renewal is successful.
For information about manually renewing your domain names, see Renewing Your Domain Names.
To Change the Automatic Renewal Option for Your Domain Names
- Log in to your Account Manager.
- Next to Domains, click Launch.
- Select the domain name(s) you want to modify.
- From the Renew menu, select Change Auto Renew.
- Select one of the following options, and then click OK:
- Auto-Renew — We automatically renew your domain name(s) upon expiration.
-
Extended Auto-Renew — Select the Registration length you want to maintain for your domain name(s). We will automatically renew them for one year on a yearly basis, so you consistently maintain that extended registration length.
NOTE: Some domain name extensions do not allow this option.
- Manual — You must manually renew your domain name(s) prior to their expiration dates.
- Click OK.
NOTE:If you selected Extended Auto-Renew with a registration length that is longer your current one, proceed through the checkout process. For example, if your domain name currently has one year of registration left and you selected Extended Auto-Renew with a registration length of five years, you must purchase the additional four years at this time. Then, on a yearly basis, we will automatically renew the domain name for one year to maintain the five-year registration length you selected.
