Avoiding missed renewals.
WHY
A missed renewal suspends your hosting or, worse, lapses a domain.
Automatic payment prevents both.
HOW
When paying by card through a gateway supporting it, you may be offered the option to store the card for future payments.
Where available, enable it.
WHERE TO MANAGE IT
Client Area > Billing > Payment Methods, where supported.
AUTO-RENEWAL ON DOMAINS
Separate from payment method. Set it per domain in Client Area > Domains.
Enable it on every domain you intend to keep.
WHAT STILL REQUIRES ATTENTION
A card expiring. Update it before it does.
A payment failing for any reason. Watch for the notification.
Bank transfer, which cannot be automated.
WHAT TO CHECK ANNUALLY
That your stored card is current That auto-renewal is on for every domain That your contact email is one you read
THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE
Domain auto-renewal with a valid payment method.
A lapsed domain takes down your website and your email, and recovery becomes expensive quickly.
