Another company: Godaddy. They send an email reminder for auto-renew with a button, "Manage your renewals". Click on that button, but you can't toggle off auto-renew on that page. There are some big toggles to toggle the privacy feature (an upsell of a paid feature). If you want to toggle off auto-renew for that domain, you have to navigate to a different Godaddy page using 2-3 clicks without instruction.
- fouc 7y agoDepends on the TLD? For example, .app domains are always auto-renew I think
- CydeWeys 7y agoRegistrars will generally auto-renew domains for their registrants regardless of any TLD-specific policies. And that makes sense; letting a domain name lapse absent explicit instruction is generally the wrong thing to do.
- PetahNZ 7y agoWell depending on the tld, there are grace periods after it lapses
- CydeWeys 7y agoAnd depending on TLD, it can be quite expensive to restore a domain during the redemption grace period. Much better to not let it get into that situation in the first place. Plus there are autorenew grace periods, so the saner thing is to keep the domain around and then delete it if the registrant objects (and then they get their money back).
