I like to keep important domains paid up many years in advance. Some TLDs don't allow this. I wonder if .link is one of those.

- wombat-man 4y agosome registrars let you keep a balance, so even if you can't pay in advance, you can load up your account balance so instead of trying to bill your card it just deducts your balance. Idk why godaddy wouldn't have this so I assume he just didn't keep an account balance.
- Canada 4y agoYeah, I try to also do that, as the domains are so important to me that I want to front-load as many things that could fail as possible. This one domain I have only allows me to renew it when it's less than 60 days to expiry and it's not possible to auto-renew, which really sucks.
- solarengineer 4y agoHave you explored shifting that domain to a Domain Registrar who _does_ allow you to auto-renew via a topped-up account that you maintain with them?
- Canada 4y agoAuto-renew is fine with all my other domains, it's an issue with that particular ccTLD, I don't see a way around it.
- em-bee 4y agoi register all my domains and especially those that belong to a community or a company with a registrar that allows anyone to pay the renewal fee. like gandi does. for a community that means that any member of the community can pay the fee, and for small communities this is a nice way to make an effortless donation. for a company it means that any office assistant can manage the payments without needing administrative access.
