Strikingly Domain: Renewing Domains

When you register a domain with Strikingly or transfer a domain to Strikingly and set it to auto renew, it will automatically charge each year 7 days before the expiration date. This is to make sure your site doesn't go offline and allow for more time to make a renewal payment (in case of decline).

If the domain doesn't set to auto-renew or we fail to charge your card on file, your domain will expire and your site will go down (Renew an Expired Domain). Eventually, your domain will be released to the market. 

 

 

Before You Renew

• Your domain’s renewal is separate from your website subscription renewal.
• If you got the domain free from our Yearly (or above) plans, your first domain is free for the first year, then $24.95 (or more) every year after.
• Domain renewal normally costs $24.95. The price may vary according to your domain's TLD/extension ie .com, .net, .biz, .fr, etc. 
• Before we collect your renewal payment, we'll send emails to the address in your domain contact information. You can receive 3 emails, 60 days, 30 days, and 5 days before expiration. You can update your billing information or disable the renewal.
• If you disable auto-renewal, you will still get renewal reminder emails required by ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers handles and manages registrar market) to inform your domain renewal status.
