Difficulty Level: Simple enough for anyone to use. No special skills required.

What’s New – Overview of the Domain Renewal Settings Update   

GoHighLevel has updated how domain renewal settings work. Users can now decide if a domain should auto-renew or be handled manually. This setting can be changed at any time before the renewal date.

If auto-renew is turned on, the system will charge the card on file. If the payment fails, it will try two more times automatically. Users will also see clear alerts if something goes wrong, so they can take action before the domain expires.

GHL also shows the renewal price in advance. That means users can see exactly what they’ll be charged before anything goes through.

This update gives agencies more control and more visibility. Whether they want to automate renewals or stay hands-on, the system now supports both styles.

What’s Changed – A Closer Look at the Features 

The way domain renewal settings work in GoHighLevel has changed for the better. Before, domains were set to auto-renew by default. If something failed during the renewal process, there wasn’t much notice or control.

Now, users can turn auto-renew on or off with a simple toggle. This can be done anytime before the renewal date. If auto-renew is on, GoHighLevel will try to renew the domain using the saved payment method. If that doesn’t go through, it will try again two more times.

If all payment attempts fail, an alert shows up in the domain settings. From there, users can take manual action to keep the domain active.

Another change is the clear display of renewal pricing. Users can now see the cost before they get charged. This helps avoid unexpected fees and gives more confidence when managing domain renewals.

These updates make it easier for agencies to keep control. The process is simple, clear, and much more reliable.

Why This Matters – The Benefits for GHL Users

Managing domain renewal settings is an important part of keeping client systems running smoothly. When a domain fails to renew, websites can go offline and email stops working. That can lead to missed leads, upset clients, and lost revenue.

This update in GoHighLevel helps reduce that risk. Users can now choose how each domain renews. Some may want to keep things automatic. Others may prefer to handle it manually to match their internal billing setup. Either way, GHL gives both options.

If something goes wrong with a payment, the system will try again. It also sends a clear alert so users can fix the issue in time. This helps avoid last-minute stress or downtime.

Another key benefit is pricing transparency. Before a domain renews, users can see exactly what it will cost. That helps with budgeting, especially for agencies managing multiple sub-accounts.

In short, these updates make domain renewal settings more reliable and easier to manage.

Pro Tips – Get the Most from This Feature 

Managing domain renewal settings doesn’t take much time, but a few smart habits can save a lot of trouble later. These tips are simple, clear, and built for busy agency owners who just want things to work.

Start by checking the payment method tied to your account. Most renewal issues happen when a card fails or expires. Keeping that info updated is the first step to avoiding problems.

Here are a few more tips to help:

  • Enable alerts in GHL. Make sure notifications are on so you know right away if a payment fails or a manual renewal is needed.
  • Use manual renewal when needed. If your agency likes to review each charge before it goes through, manual renewal is the better choice. It gives you time to double-check things.
  • Set a calendar reminder. Even though GHL sends alerts, a quick reminder a few days before the renewal date can help you stay ahead.
  • Review renewal pricing. Before confirming, check the price shown in the domain renewal settings. It’s there to help you plan and avoid surprises.

These small actions help make domain management easier and more reliable. Staying ahead of renewals means less stress and no last-minute problems.

Common Questions About Domain Renewal Settings

Stay in Control of Your Domains 

Every agency depends on working domains. If one expires without warning, it can take down a website or stop emails from going out. That means lost leads, missed sales, and unhappy clients.

GoHighLevel’s update to domain renewal settings helps fix that. Users can now choose to let domains auto-renew or take care of renewals manually. The system gives alerts if something goes wrong and even retries failed payments automatically.

Being able to see the renewal price ahead of time also makes planning easier. It gives agencies the tools to manage domains without surprises.

This is a small change, but it makes a big difference. Staying in control of domain renewals is one less thing to worry about.
