Ways of How to Renew a Domain Name Automatically, No Risk of Forgetting

How do you renew a domain name if you have a poor memory? I really do forget and there are some things which will just slip out of my memory. Domain renewal is no exemption of this. Are you just like me? Maybe it’s because we have many tasks to perform. If this is the case, then there is a threat that we are likely to forget to renew our domains.

But I have good news for you. How to renew a domain name without forgetting is the good news I am going to tell you in this article. Domain registrar companies have a service called auto renewal where domains that are just about to expire can be renewed automatically.

How? Mmm... If the domain name is checked on the auto renewal check box, it will be renewed automatically once its valid period is over. There are two types of auto renewal attempts. These attempts depend upon the registrar company you registered your domain name with.

The first auto renewal attempt may be billed 20 days before the expiration and if it does not go through, then the second attempt will be initiated. The second attempt may be billed 15-days before expiration. Renewal will be billed to the credit card you have on their file. If it happens that the credit card is invalid or has been declined, you will receive an email with an opportunity to update the payment information.

All you need to do in order to access the auto renewal service offered by your registrar company is to sign up with them for this service. When signing up, make sure your credit card is valid throughout.

How to Domain Sync

Things are even much better for those who have got many domain names to renew. Renewal dates no longer have to be tied strictly to your initial registration date.

With domain name sync service, you can consolidate or synchronize your dot com and dot net domain registration dates to an anniversary date of your own choice. Sync allows renewals and billing to be done at the same time unlike the manual way of doing it from one domain name to another. It really saves your time.

You can select one or more domains in the account management and choose a new date of expiration. You will be charged some amount for this service.

Note that it’s only a dot com and dot net domains that are eligible for this service and no any other type of extensions. Anniversary dates can only be advanced and not set backward. In the sync service, all sales are final hence no issue of refunds once you pay for it. Each domain name can be synced once per calendar year.

Now you have the tips, go ahead use them.
