Depends on the TLD? For example, .app domains are always auto-renew I think

  Registrars 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.

    Well depending on the tld, there are grace periods after it lapses
    • CydeWeys 7y ago
      And 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).
