Enabling or disabling automatic renewal for a domain

When you want to change whether Amazon Route 53 automatically renews registration for a domain shortly before the expiration date, or you want to see the current setting for automatic renewal, perform the following procedure.

Note that you can't use Amazon credits to pay the fee for renewing registration for a domain.

Note

Make sure you turn off automatic renewal if you intend to cancel your Amazon account. Otherwise, you will continue to receive renewal notices from Amazon. Your domain will not, however, be renewed, unless you re-activate your account.
