You have your domains; your website and emails are running perfectly – amazing! All you need to do is keep them up and running, but sometimes, renewal notifications can slip through the net. We’re looking into your options, so you won’t need to worry about missing a renewal notice again.
Forgetting to renew a domain name seems like an easily avoidable mistake, but it happens more often than you think. There may be several reasons why a domain registration lapses, with the top reason being human error.
Remember that time Microsoft failed to renew their domain, hotmail.co.uk in 2003? Despite being told that the domain name was up for renewal, Microsoft overlooked this vital piece of information and thousands of people lost access to their emails – CHAOS! Luckily, a good-hearted individual snapped up the domain and contacted Microsoft straight away.
It’s important for businesses to understand the impacts of allowing a domain name to expire and what damage this could do to their business. Every business can learn from the mistakes of others and there are steps that you can take, to avoid being in the same position:
Keep your domains together
It’s much easier to manage your domain name registrations if you can see them all in one central place, with one provider, than to scramble around trying to remember where your domains are.
Keep your contact details up-to-date
Always make sure that your provider has your most recent contact details. Register365.com will email and text you at points leading up to the renewal of your domain name or any other service, to avoid a missed renewal. Plus, it’s really easy to update your details or manage your communication preferences.
Set up automatic renewals
We offer individuals and businesses the option of setting auto-renewals on your domain names, giving you peace of mind that your domain names are safe.
Check your spam/junk files
If you have your spam filters set high, you may miss domain name renewal notifications. Always check your spam/junk folders, to make sure any renewal notices haven’t slipped through the net.
Keep your payment details up-to-date
Making sure that your payment details are up-to-date means that the auto-renewals can be processed without any issues.
