Auto-renewal
Auto-renewal automatically renews a host before it expires, preventing it from being released due to non-payment.
How auto-renewal works
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Renewal cycle | The host renews according to the cycle you specify. |
| If deduction fails | The system retries the deduction daily until the balance is sufficient. If all three automatic deduction attempts fail, manually renew the host before the expiration date to avoid service interruptions and data loss. |
| Effective time | Auto-renewal takes effect the day after it is enabled. If the host expires tomorrow, manually renew it now to prevent interruptions. |
