Manage auto-renew with Network Solutions

Learn to manage auto-renew for your Network Solutions' products and services. Automatic renewal, also known as auto-renew, is a feature designed to ensure your products renew on time, avoiding any accidental service interruptions. While we recommend keeping auto-renewal enabled for uninterrupted service, you can easily change these settings at any time through your account manager. Following these steps will help you take full control of your product renewal preferences.

Note: The renewal term is based on the term you choose at the time you purchase or renew the product. If you want to update the renewal term, you will need to renew and select a different renewal term.

How to access the Renewal Center

Follow the steps below to access your account manager's Renewal Center.

  1. Log in to your account manager via https://www.networksolutions.com/my-account/login.
  2. From the left-hand menu, click the Renewal Center tab.

      • No renewal date will show if the auto-renewal of the product is off.
    3. Monitor each of your products' auto-renewal status at a glance.

You will then be rerouted to the Renewal Center page of your account.

Renewal notices and alerts

The automatic renewal system alerts you to any problems, such as outdated billing information, on the following dates:

Important: Network Solutions will attempt two payment methods for auto-renewal. If the first/main payment method fails, our system will attempt another payment method from the wallet (if it exists) immediately following the first failure. If the secondary card also fails, the primary payment method is retried.

Before your product expires, you will receive the following:

  • An automatic renewal reminder email is sent when the system checks the payment, and the payment is valid.
  • A bad payment email is sent when the system checks the payment, and the payment is invalid.

When automatic renewal processes, you will receive the following:

  • An order payment failure email is sent when automatic renewal fails.
  • An order confirmation email is sent when the automatic renewal is successful.
