# Domain Auto Renew: How to Turn It On or Off

**In short:** Auto renew means the system issues your domain renewal invoice 30 days before expiry; you pay it and the domain renews. Turn it on or off in: Domains → My Domains → click the domain → "Auto Renew". If you turn it off, no invoice is issued and the domain expires on its date unless you renew it manually.

## What does auto renew mean at Hyyat Host?

With auto renew on, we send you the renewal invoice 30 days before the domain expires, with an email reminder. The amount is **not charged automatically**: you pay the invoice with the method you prefer and the domain renews once paid. Auto renew is on by default for every new domain, so you never lose a domain by forgetting.

## How to turn auto renew on or off

1. Log in to the [client area](https://www.hyyat.com/en/knowledgebase/explain-how-to-enter-the-client-area/) with your email and password, or with the Google account linked to it.
2. Open [Domains → My Domains](https://www.hyyatdomain.com/clientarea.php?action=domains&language=english) and click the domain you want.

1. In the "Manage" sidebar, choose **Auto Renew**.
2. You will see the **Auto Renewal Status**: "Enabled" or "Disabled". Click **Disable Auto Renew** to stop it, or **Enable Auto Renew** to turn it on.

## What happens before and after your domain expires?

![Domain stages around expiry: invoice, renewal date, grace and redemption](https://www.hyyat.com/wp-content/uploads/hyyat-kb-img/domains/dom-auto-3-en.svg)

- **30 days before expiry:** the renewal invoice is issued if auto renew is on, and a reminder is emailed to you.
- **Renewal date:** pay before it so your website and email keep working without interruption.
- **Grace period:** 10 days for .com, .net and .org, and 15 days for .sa. Your site and email may stop, but renewal is still possible.
- **Redemption period:** 25 days, and getting the domain back costs an extra redemption fee.
- **After that:** the domain may be deleted and become available for anyone to register.

 **Don't need this domain anymore?** Instead of leaving the invoice unpaid, submit a [domain cancellation request](https://www.hyyat.com/en/knowledgebase/request-domain-cancellation/): renewal stops and its pending renewal invoice is cancelled.

## FAQ

### Is the renewal charged automatically?

No. You receive an invoice and pay it yourself. See [payment methods](https://www.hyyat.com/en/knowledgebase/payment-methods/).

### When do I get the renewal invoice?

30 days before the domain expires, and it also appears under Invoices.

### Can I renew now, before the invoice?

Yes. See [renewing your domain manually](https://www.hyyat.com/en/knowledgebase/renew-domain-manually/).

### My domain expired; what now?

Renew it right away from [Renew Domains](https://www.hyyatdomain.com/cart.php?gid=renewals&language=english) while it is in the grace period. If it is past that, open a [support ticket](https://www.hyyat.com/en/knowledgebase/open-support-ticket/) and we will tell you the redemption fee.

### I turned auto renew off; does my site stop now?

No. The domain works until its expiry date; turning it off only stops the renewal invoice.
