In this topic, we’ll be discussing how to manage your domain registration(s) ‘Auto-Renew’ feature.
This feature is automatically enabled for all domains after a new registration, or once a domain has been transferred to us from another registrar. Choosing to set this to ‘Disable’ will prevent the domain from automatically renewing and will let the domain expire on its expiration date.
