# Renewals and renewal invoices

> When renewal invoices are created and how to renew services and domains.

## How renewals work

We create a renewal invoice **14 days** before each service's due date and email it to you. If you have a saved payment method that supports automatic charges, we'll try to charge it on the due date.

You'll get reminder emails before the due date and again if the invoice becomes overdue.

## Renew a hosting or VPS service

Pay the renewal invoice from **Billing → My Invoices**. That's all you need to do; the due date moves forward automatically.

## Renew a domain

**1. Open domain renewals**

Click **Domains** in the top menu. On the **My Domains** page, click **Renew Domains** in the **Actions** sidebar on the left to renew several domains at once. To renew a single domain, you can instead open that domain's page (**⋯** menu → **Manage Domain**) and click **Renew Domain** in its **Actions** sidebar.

**2. Pick the domains and term**

Select the domains to renew and how many years.

**3. Check out and pay**

Complete checkout. The domain is renewed at the registry once payment is confirmed.

> [!WARNING]
>
> Expired domains stop working (website and email) and may enter a redemption period where restoring them costs significantly more. Renew well before the expiry date.

## Turn auto-renew on or off for a domain

The **Auto Renew** column on the **My Domains** page shows which domains renew automatically.

**1. Open the domain**

Click **Domains** in the top menu. On the domain's row, click the **⋯** menu and choose **Manage Domain**.

Clicking the domain name itself opens your website, not its settings.

**2. Change the setting**

Open the **Auto Renew** tab and use the toggle to turn auto-renew on or off.
