Automatic renewal of your domain registration when it expires, usually charged to your payment method on file without prompting. Most registrars enable this by default; bunkerdomains disables it by default so you stay in control. Auto-renew exists because domain expiration is permanent—miss the deadline and the name enters redemption period, then drops. After that, anyone can register it. Registrars love auto-renew because it generates passive revenue and reduces churn. You should love it because forgetting a domain renewal is how you lose assets. The tradeoff: set reminders yourself, or trust the system. With bunkerdomains, you pay in crypto upfront and manage renewal on your terms—no surprise charges, no credit card on file, no phone calls. Check your renewal date in the dashboard and renew when you want. Related: expiration, redemption period, pending delete, drop catching.
