This article provides a guide for how to manage domain auto-renewal settings in the hosting dashboard.
What is Domain Auto-Renewal?
Domain auto-renewal is a feature that can be enabled to automatically generate renewal invoices for domain names 90 days prior to expiration. This feature is useful for users managing multiple domains or domains which represent business assets that should not be allowed to expire.
By default, any automatically generated domain renewal invoices will be for the minimum-length renewal term available (for most TLDs, this is 1-year renewal extension). When a domain's auto-renewal is set to "Off", the domain renewal invoice will not be generated.
In either state, all domains are subject to periodic domain renewal reminders (sent by email by Rad Web Hosting) in accordance with all ICANN and registry requirements.
