Auto-renewal
In short: Your plan renews and charges your card automatically when the term ends.
Most hosting, domains and email renew automatically, so your site doesn't go offline by accident. The catch is that they renew at the renewal price, not the intro price.
Don't switch auto-renewal off without a plan: if a domain or hosting plan lapses, your site and email can stop working. Move first, then cancel. Renewal Radar can remind you before anything renews.
