Godaddy Auto Renew Domains – Cancel Paypal Godaddy Subscription

By now, if you own few domain names, you must have known the auto renewal subscription of domain registrars. Domain registrars such as Godaddy automatically creates a paypal subscription and charges without notifications. You can always uncheck auto renew option from the Godaddy account and cancel the paypal godaddy subscription from the paypal account. 

How Domain Auto Renewal Works

Previously I wrote a blog post on Godaddy trick on private registration of domain names for free which is valid for a period of 1 year. When the time period expires, Godaddy will renew private registration service and charge around 9$ for each domain automatically, without notifying you. Same goes with the domain expiration. Your domain will not expire (exceptions) instead, Godaddy auto renew system will charge you dollars and automatically renew the domain name.

Most of the domain registrar has this auto renewal feature that is a total rip off for webmasters. To avoid this, you can always cancel the subscription from Godaddy account or if you have used paypal then check out the transaction history!  Visit the Paypal transaction history and under More filters, you will be able to see all of the auto renewal subscription you have been subscribed for.

You can also visit Godaddy account, under payment information you will find options to deactivate payment method which will deactivate any future transaction from the particular credit card or Godaddy Paypal account!
