How Domain Name Renewals Work
- Annual Renewal: Most domains are renewed annually unless you have purchased a domain for a longer duration (e.g., 2 years, 5 years).
- Auto-Renewal Feature: Many registrars offer an auto-renewal option, which automatically charges your payment method each year to keep your domain active.
- Stopping Auto-Renewal: If you wish to stop the auto-renewal, you can do so by visiting your domain renewal page.
- Transferring Domains: To transfer your domain to another registrar, you will also need to manage your settings through the same domain renewal page.
Understanding the billing process for domain name renewals is essential for effective domain management. Whether you choose to enable auto-renewal or manage renewals manually, ensure that you keep your domain active by staying on top of renewal dates.
