Renewing Shared Hosting Services becomes easier with auto-renewals
Another improvement to our Shared Hosting service this summer will make renewing your domain even easier as we introduce auto-renewals. This handy new feature will ensure that your domain doesn't expire and your website remains available without interruption when renewals fall due. You'll see these updates when you log-in to your Reclaim Hosting Client Area under Billing > Payment Methods from June.
