How do I set my domain name to auto-renew?
This article will show you how you can set your domain to renew automatically.
By default, any domain names that you purchase are set to ‘auto renew’. However, if you’ve changed your settings, you can re-implement the Auto Renew feature by following these instructions.
Please note: before proceeding, you’ll need to make sure that your domain isn’t locked. In addition to this, if you have an older version of our Domain Ownership Protection service (purchased before August 2023) in place on your domain, you may need to disable this service. For details on how to do this, please read the following articles:
- How do I turn off Domain Ownership Protection (‘DOP’) for my domains?
- How do I lock/unlock my domain name?
If, however, you have our current Domain Ownership Protection service (purchased after August 2023) assigned to your domain, please continue reading.

Next, select Manage All opposite Domains within the ‘All Products and Services’ section.
You will now see a complete list of your purchased domain names. Select which one(s) you wish to update from the provided list by clicking the checkbox next to them.
If you can’t find your domain in this list, you may be able to find it on the Domain Name Overview page within our legacy Control Panel. For more details on this, please read the following article: How do I access and manage my products?

You can also set the renewal status for each domain name. If there are any domain names you don’t wish to renew, simply use the toggle to set its renewal status to Off.
