How to Renew Your Hosting and Domain Manually

Your hosting and domain are usually billed on a renewal cycle, and letting either expire can take your website and email offline — and, in the worst case, lose your domain. Renewing manually is quick, and it is a good habit to renew a little early rather than at the last minute.

How to renew manually

  1. Log in to your client area.
  2. Look for Due Invoices on your dashboard, or open Billing → Invoices.
  3. Open the renewal invoice for your hosting or domain.
  4. Choose your payment method and pay the invoice.

Once paid, the service is extended for the next term automatically.

Renew before it expires

Renewal invoices are generated ahead of the due date so you have time to pay. Renewing early avoids any risk of interruption — especially for domains, where lapsing can be costly to reverse. See what happens when a domain expires.

Prefer not to think about it? Turn on auto-renew

Manual renewal gives you control, but auto-renew gives you peace of mind — your services renew themselves so nothing lapses by accident. See enabling auto-renew for your domain and hosting. You can keep a valid payment method on file and still review invoices as they come.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if I miss the renewal date?

Hosting is usually suspended for a short grace period before deletion, and domains enter a redemption phase that is expensive to recover from. Renew promptly to avoid both.

Can I renew for more than one year at a time?

Often yes — longer terms mean fewer renewals to remember, and sometimes a better rate. Choose the term on the renewal or in your service settings.

How do I stop getting renewal reminders?

Enable auto-renew, or if you are cancelling, see cancelling a service.
