To prevent a subscription dedicated host from being accidentally released, you can enable auto-renewal for the dedicated host. After you enable auto-renewal, the system automatically renews the dedicated host at the specified time. You can disable the auto-renewal feature if necessary. This topic describes how to enable and disable auto-renewal.
Prerequisites
Background information
If you enable auto-renewal for a dedicated host, fees are deducted from your credit card or PayPal account on the expiration date. If fees fail to be deducted, the system attempts to deduct the fees 6 days and 14 days after the expiration date until the renewal is successful. However, if the renewal fails all three times, the dedicated host is stopped.
- If a dedicated host is purchased on a yearly basis, its billing cycle is one year.
- If a dedicated host is purchased on a monthly basis, its billing cycle is one month.
- If a dedicated host is purchased on a weekly basis, its billing cycle is one week.
