Configuring Domain Renewal

Domains transferred or registered from your control panel with a domain registrar need to be renewed once the registration period expires. In your account you can choose between manual and automatic renew modes.

This option is available only for domains registered from your control panel.

Although you will be sent an e-mail notification before your domain expires, you can choose whether to renew your contract with the registrar company manually or automatically. In the automatic mode, your domain name will be renewed for as many years as you specify in your control panel settings. In the manual mode, you would have to enter your control panel and click the Renew Domain link; otherwise the domain name will expire and become unavailable.

To set the renewal mode to automatic or manual:

1. Go to your control panel Domain Settings/Domain info menu, and click the domain name link.
2. On the page that appears in section Domain Renew Mode, click the Renew domain link.

   

3. To switch to another mode, click the Edit icon. On the page that opens, select either Manual or Automatic.

With Manual renew mode, you will be warned about domain expiration in advance, so that you can renew the domain on time.

To renew your domain manually:

1. Click the Renew domain link:

   

   • Renew/registration date: the date you registered your domain or last time renewed the domain registration.
   • Registration/last renew period in years: the period you registered or last time renewed the domain registration for.
   • Total contract length in years: the period you have registered your domain for (including all the renewals).
   • Expiration date: the date when your domain registration period expires.
   • Advisable renew date: the date you are advised to renew the domain registration.
   • Renew domain for this many year(s): set the period you'd like to renew the domain registration for.
2. Click Submit to confirm your renewal request and agree to charges, if any.

Warning: Make sure to renew your domain on time, as you won't be able to renew it from your Control Panel when it expires.

To configure automatic renewal:

1. Go to your control panel Domain Settings/Domain info menu, and click the domain name link.
2. On the page that appears in section Domain Renew Mode, click the Renew domain link.
3. Select Automatic and enter the years to renew the domain for:

   

If you have opted for an Automatic Renew Mode, the domain will be automatically renewed for the number of years you specified when choosing the Domain Renew Mode. The charges for a renewal will be made according to your plan settings.
