Auto-renewal

The auto-renewal is an action which will renew your domain name automatically 15 days before its expiration date. For this there are two prerequisites:

  1. You must activate the auto renewal option for the domain(s) concerned. All that is necessary to do is click on the icon. When the auto-renewal is active, the icon is green:
  2. You must have a prepaid account with sufficient credit (keep in mind the TVA) to carry out the operation. The prepaid account being credited must be the same user who activated the auto-renewal (person requesting the operation ). Ex.: Your domain has for owner contact AB9234-GANDI and billing contact CD9678-GANDI. If AB9234-GANDI activates the auto-renewal for the domain, it will be that contact, CD9678-GANDI, which must have sufficient prepaid credit. We will debit the prepaid account for CD9678-GANDI even if it doesn't have enough money in the account.
