Enable auto-renewal

When you enable auto-renewal, your hosts are automatically renewed before they expire. This helps prevent service interruptions caused by a missed manual renewal.

Usage notes

  • Ensure that your Alibaba Cloud account has a sufficient balance to prevent renewal failures.

  • If three consecutive auto-deduction attempts fail, you must manually renew the host to prevent service downtime and potential data loss.

  • The auto-renewal feature takes effect on the following day. If your host expires tomorrow, we recommend that you manually renew it to avoid service interruptions.
