I've set it up before to have 10y which is the max, and renew for 1 year every year. So the domain always has a lead time of 9-10 years but it is still renewed

I've set it up before to have 10y which is the max, and renew for 1 year every year. So the domain always has a lead time of 9-10 years but it is still renewed once a year for practice. for most domains thats like 100 bucks to lock it down for 10 years. You can also monitor the domain expiry in your monitoring system i.e. nagios or whatever you are using.
- imhoguy 8y agoGreat idea!
- jethro_tell 8y agoThanks, I learned the hard way. =)
- scrollaway 8y agoHow does one set that up? Im using gandi and didn't know this was possible.
- davewasthere 8y agoBuy 10 years of registration initially, then each year set yourself a reminder to extend this by one year. It's not automagical. That said, with Gandi, you can just set it to auto-renew, which works pretty well.
- kijin 8y agoThe problem with relying on auto-renew is that, sooner or later, your credit card will expire (or the employee who was in charge of the domain will be gone) and the renewal will fail. The account needs maintenance one way or another.
- kuschku 8y agoIf you’re in SEPA, use SEPA direct debit instead. As long as the bank account exists it’ll run on forever.
- jethro_tell 8y agoNo, the problem isn't auto renew, the problem is using unmonitored automation.
