What I hate is when the hosting site REMOVEDS your DO NOT RENEW selection and a few years later, get a (as one example) a $60 CC charge.
This time I was sent a warning that my 3 UNUSED domains will new to be renewed in a few weeks.
I went to my dashboard on the site and DAMN, the AUTO RENEW choice was on YES.
I changed it, but...I need to recheck it a few days before the deadline.
