How Auto-Renewal Works

Auto-renewal ensures your hosting services and domains stay active without manual intervention. When enabled, {{COMPANY_NAME}} automatically generates an invoice and attempts payment before your service expires.

What Auto-Renewal Does

  • Generates an invoice automatically before the service expiry date (typically 14 days before)
  • Attempts payment using your saved payment method or account credit
  • Renews the service for the same billing cycle (e.g., if you paid annually, it renews for another year)
  • Sends email notifications at each step — invoice generated, payment attempted, renewal confirmed or failed

How to Enable Auto-Renewal

  1. Log in to {{SUPPORT_URL}}
  2. Go to My Services or My Domains
  3. Click on the service or domain you want to manage
  4. Look for the Auto-Renewal toggle or option
  5. Set it to Enabled
  6. Ensure you have a saved payment method or sufficient account credit

How to Disable Auto-Renewal

  1. Go to the same service or domain detail page
  2. Set Auto-Renewal to Disabled
  3. You will still receive a renewal invoice, but payment will not be attempted automatically — you will need to pay manually before the due date

What Happens When Auto-Renewal is Enabled

  • 14 days before expiry — Renewal invoice generated and emailed to you
  • 7 days before expiry — Payment attempted using your saved payment method
  • Payment succeeds — Service renewed, confirmation email sent
  • Payment fails — You receive a notification to pay manually
  • On expiry date — If still unpaid, service may be suspended

What Happens When Auto-Renewal is Off

  • An invoice is still generated before the due date
  • No automatic payment is attempted — you must log in and pay manually
  • If unpaid by the due date, the service will expire and may be suspended or terminated

Important Notes for Domains

  • Domains must be renewed before expiry — once expired, recovery is expensive or impossible
  • Some extensions (e.g., .in, .co.in) have shorter grace periods
  • We strongly recommend keeping auto-renewal enabled for all domains

Tips

  • Keep a payment method saved in your account for auto-renewal to work
  • Maintain account credit as a backup if card payment fails
  • Check your spam folder if you are not receiving renewal emails
