i got notification before 3 months that my domain in expiring

i got notification before 3 months that my domain in expiring from godaddy.
but they didnt specified clearly that do i have to actually renew domain before 3 months.

can anyone tell me how much time i have to renew the domain ?
is it 3 months ( till the last date 17 july 2010 ) ?

 

Better renew the domain before 17th July. Though the domain remains with you for 30 more days even after its expired if i remember correctly.

 

yes, before 17th july, no problem at all.
but i was wondering if i have to renew before 3 months.
thanx.
after 17th july, godaddy will cost $80

 

Yeah, Godaddy wants your money as quick as possible, so even if the domain don't expire till said date, they don't mind if you pay them as early as possible. You would still get the full year you have already paid for plus next year whenever you renew, but Godaddy want to cover their ass if the domain would expire. Then they can say that "Hey, we sent you several reminders, don't blame us!" and of course would like to lock you in as a customer and ake you pay as soon as possible. because of that, Godaddy will send out 90 days renewal notices, yu will get new at 60, 45 30, 15/10, 5, 3 and 1 das left or so.

 

ok, then its no problem, i still have 3 months.
Thanx.

 

Does godaddy have an automatic renewal ?

 

I have to activate it?

I though it's already activated when you purchase the domain name.

 

Yes, Auto Renew is set by default at Godaddy. I disabled it after buying.

 

Autorenew is good option, but sometimes domain names you are not willing to renew are being renewed. Make sure you know about that.

 

Log in at Godaddy and see what your choices are. Check or uncheck as it appllies to your situation.

 

yeah man they send a 100 reminders to renew the domain.... i just renew it a week or so before it expires, works well for me
