Paying for Domains: Payment Methods, Renewals and Auto-Renew
How domain invoices work, which payment methods you can use and what they cost, and how renewals, auto-renew and reminders keep your domain from expiring.
You pay for all the domains in an order with one invoice, for 1 to 10 years each. After that, each domain renews once a year, automatically if you like.
One invoice for your order
Add the domains you want on the domain page, pick 1 to 10 years for each, and continue to checkout. You enter the owner's contact details once, and get one invoice for the whole order.
Choose how to pay
Pick a payment method on the invoice:
- Card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express): 3% payment fee.
- PayPal: 5% payment fee.
- Account balance: no fee. Top up your balance in the customer area.
- Cryptocurrency: no fee.
- Bank transfer: no fee. The domain is registered once the payment arrives.
The fee is shown on the invoice before you pay. It is never added to the domain's price.
Let your domains renew automatically
Auto-renew is on for every new domain. 30 days before the domain expires, we renew it for one year and charge your saved card, your saved PayPal account or your account balance, as set in your account settings. If that does not work, we email you the invoice to pay.
Renew it yourself
With auto-renew off, you renew the domain on its page, for as many years as you like. We email you reminders 30, 14, 7, 3 and 1 day before it expires.
Renewal prices can differ from the first year's price. The domain page's price table shows both for every extension.
If a domain expires
Renew it as soon as you can. For a while after it expires, most extensions let you restore the domain on its page, for a restore fee. After that period, the registry releases the domain and anyone can register it.
