How to Set Your Domain for Auto-Renewal
Keeping your domain active is critical to maintaining your website and online presence. With Vivint Host, enabling automatic renewal ensures your domain remains yours-without any risk of accidental expiration. When auto-renew is turned on, your domain will renew automatically at the end of each billing cycle, and a renewal invoice will be generated on your account.
In this quick guide, we'll walk you through how to enable auto-renewal for your domain, step-by-step.
Step 1: Log in to Your Vivint Host Account
Begin by logging in to your Vivint Host client area using your account credentials.
Step 2: Go to 'My Domains'
Once you're logged in, locate and click the "My Domains" button (highlighted in orange) from your dashboard. This will take you to a list of all domains associated with your account.

Step 3: Select the Domain You Want to Modify
From the list of domains, click on the specific domain name you'd like to manage.
In this example, we're selecting YourDomainExample.com.

Step 4: Open the 'Auto Renew' Tab
Within the domain management screen, find the tab labeled "Auto Renew" near the top of the page (usually the second tab from the left) and click on it.

Step 5: Enable or Disable Auto-Renew
You’ll now see the current auto-renewal status of your domain.
If auto-renew is already enabled, no further action is needed.
If auto-renew is disabled, click the "Enable Auto Renew" button. The system may prompt you to confirm your choice-follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.

Why Enable Auto-Renew?
Auto-renewal is the simplest way to prevent losing access to your domain due to an expired registration. Domains can often be difficult or even impossible to recover after expiration-especially if someone else purchases them. Enabling this feature ensures continuous ownership and peace of mind.
