Domain India emails you about the things that keep your domains, hosting and account running: invoices, renewals, service updates, security events and support replies. Most of these can't be switched off, because missing one can cost you a domain or a website. This guide explains what we send, what you can change, and what to do if our emails aren't reaching you.

Key takeaways

The Email preferences page in the client area (/client/preferences/email) lists what we send. Billing, renewal, order, security, support and domain compliance emails are always sent and can't be switched off. Offers and newsletters are optional: use Ask us to change it on that page and we will set your preference. Every email goes to the address on your Profile, so keep it current, and check Email history if you think you missed one.

1. What Domain India emails you about

Billing and renewals
New invoices, payment receipts, reminders for unpaid and overdue invoices, and renewal reminders before a service is due.
Orders and services
Order confirmations and provisioning updates, such as your hosting account being ready.
Support
A confirmation when you open a ticket, and every reply our team adds to it.
Security
Password changes, new sign-ins, and changes to two-factor authentication.
Domains
Expiry notices, and registry and compliance notices for your domains.
Offers and newsletters
Product news and offers. These are the only optional emails.

2. What you can and can't switch off

Email typeCan I turn it off?Why

Registry and compliance notices for your domainsNoRegistries require them, and ignoring some can suspend a domain
Offers and newslettersYes, on requestOptional; ask us and we set your preference

Per-category switches aren't in the client area yet. To stop offers and newsletters, open the Email preferences page and click Ask us to change it. It opens a support ticket already filled in with your request, and the team sets your preference on your account. Billing, security and support emails continue.

3. Open the Email preferences page

  1. Sign in
    to the Domain India client area.
  2. The page shows two cards: Always sent, and Offers and newsletters.
  3. To stop offers and newsletters,
    click Ask us to change it and submit the ticket.
  4. To see what we have sent,
    click See emails we have sent you, which opens Email history.

4. Renewal reminders and invoices

Renewal emails matter most, so it helps to know how renewals work. Domain India never charges a saved card automatically. Before a service is due, a renewal invoice is generated, up to 30 days ahead, and emailed to you, followed by reminders while it is unpaid. The service renews only when you pay the invoice.

If you don't want a service to renew, don't try to block the emails. Open Renewals in the client area and choose Don't renew on that item, or simply leave the invoice unpaid. See how auto-renewal works and managing renewals.

Don't filter our emails to a folder you never read

A mail rule that moves Domain India emails out of your inbox is the most common reason customers miss a renewal and lose a domain or website. If you filter them, filter them somewhere you check.

5. Which email address we use

Every notification goes to the email address on your account.

  1. Open Account › Profile
    in the client area.
  2. Click Edit profile
    and update your email address.
  3. Save.
    New emails go to the new address from then on.

Use an address you check every day and that doesn't depend on the domain it is about. If your only email is [email protected] and that domain expires, the renewal reminders stop reaching you exactly when you need them. A second, independent address, such as a Gmail or Outlook account, is safer. If the change won't save, open a ticket.

If other people help run your account, add them under Account › Team members with their own login rather than sharing your password. See managing your account in the client area.

6. Not receiving our emails?

  1. Check Email history.
    Open Account › Email history (/client/emails). If the email is listed there, we sent it, and the problem is on the receiving side.
  2. Check spam, junk and other tabs.
    Search your mailbox, including Spam, Promotions and Updates, for "Domain India".
  3. Mark it as not spam
    and add the sender to your contacts, so future emails land in your inbox.
  4. Check your mail rules.
    Look for filters or forwarding that move or delete our emails.
  5. Check the address on your Profile
    for typos.
  6. Still nothing?
    Open a ticket at /client/support/new, or /support/ticket if you can't sign in, with the subject of the email you expected.

Emails that contain passwords or login details, such as the hosting welcome email, are not kept in Email history. For login details, open the service's page in the client area instead; see getting your welcome email again.
