So, what do you do to avoid such a situation? You can opt for auto renewal of your domains. This way you never have to remember all the registration dates and times of renewal. Your registrar will inform you before the renewal is due. And the renewal charges will be debited from your bank account directly or else charged to your credit card. Once the renewal has been done, the registrar will let you know of the successful renewal through emails.
In case you don’t want to continue with the domain name, you can let them know once your pre renewal email has been sent. They generally send the email a few days before renewal so you have plenty of time to let go of the domain. The whole process is very easy with minimum hassle so you will save yourself a lot of trouble by choosing auto renewal for your domain.
