Domain Renewals

I hate seeing sites go offlline because the domain was not paid for on time. It happens all the time, recently a major program went offline for a few days until the owner took care of it. When a domain expires for non-payment registrars give you a grace period to renew it, but then they park the domain, so you have to wait for the dns to change and get your site back live.

The trick is to have one email address that you can check for all your domains registrations, keep life simple.

I don’t believe in using a seperate email address for each domain, it leads to trouble, you might forget the check each email on a regular basis.

The other tip is to put your most valuable domains on auto renewal. That way the registrar will automatically charge your credit card on file with them, when the time comes to renew.
