Auto Renew is a nice feature and it has it’s good and bad’s. Each registrar is a little different on how it works. GoDaddy.com’s get’s turned on automatically but at NetworkSolutions.com you have to turn it on manually.
If you choose not to renew a domain, it can also be a pain to shut off auto renew as it’s not something that one does everyday, so it can be a challenge. Here are my "bads" about Auto Renew.
To much trust! ~ I have spoke with many people that said their domain was on Auto Renew, so they felt they had nothing to worry about…. Well, since credit cards expire each year or two, your Auto Renew will not do you much good if the credit card on file is declined due to being expired. Be sure your credit card on file is up to date.
Normal Pricing! ~ At GoDaddy.com there are always discount renewal codes floating around and most will get you a .com domain renewed for under $8. This weekend, I had a couple auto renew and they cost me $10.19 Each… It’s not a huge deal, but when you start adding up $2 + for each domain that you could of saved, it does add up and effect your bottom line.
Security! ~ Now Auto Renew doesn’t directly affect the security of your domain but Auto Renew can prevent you from logging into your account and just looking around. It never hurts just to login and check around to see if anything is missing.
The good part of Auto Renew… Well there is really only one if everything is working correctly. Your domain name Auto Renew’s when it comes near the expiration date and you do not have to do anything!
