Autorenew Custom Extension

Switching Auto-renew On/Off

  1. On registration, every domain will have its Autorenew flag set to true.
  2. On registration, the Autorenew flag may be specified as False.
  3. Switching the Autorenew flag is instant upon request, even though the response code is 1001.
  4. Autorenew is a custom extension of the Domain Update command.
  5. A successful Transfer of a domain will NOT change the Autorenew flag to False.
  6. Switching of the Autorenew flag does not send notification to the registrant.
  7. Switching a flag to the status that it is already set to will still return a successful response.
  8. Domains that reach their expiration date and have Autorenew set to “true” will automatically be renewed and billed for.
  9. Domains that reach their expiration date and have Autorenew set to “false” will enter the Deletion Process.

In the example above, the Autorenew is being switched to “false“. It may also be switched to “true“
