Automatic Renewal

We can automatically renew your domains. If you choose to use this Automatic Renewal, you will need to save a credit card or debit card on your account. The renewal will be made 30 days before the domain expires.

If Automatic Renewal is enabled on a domain that expires in less than 30 days, the renewal will be made within 24 hours.

The default length of renewal with Automatic Renewal is one year, but you can set it to renew for one, two, three, four, or five years. The same renewal length will apply to all Automatic Renewals on your account.


Please follow these steps to set or change Automatic Renewal settings:

  1. Log into the Domain Name Management System.
  2. Select Account Settings from the drop-down navigation menu.
  3. Click Update Renewal.
  4. Select the domain(s) you want to automatically renew.
  5. Select the length of the renewal.
  6. Enter payment information.
  7. Click Update Settings.

We cannot cancel or refund an Automatic Renewal after it is completed. If you previously enabled Automatic Renewal and decide that you do not want to renew a domain, you must disable Automatic Renewal at least 31 days before the expiration date:

  1. Log into the Domain Name Management System.
  2. Select Account Settings from the drop-down navigation menu.
  3. Click Update Renewal.
  4. Uncheck the boxes for domains that you do not want to automatically renew.
  5. Click Update Settings.

Problems With Automatic Renewal

If your saved card expires before the renewal is completed, we will contact you ahead of time so that you can update the card.

We will contact you if the saved card is declined.

If you update the saved card or provide a new saved card more than 30 days before the expiration date, the renewal will be made 30 days before the expiration date. If the changes are made less than 30 days before a domain expires, the renewal will be made within 24 hours.

Email Options

You can receive email on your domain using our Email Forwarding service. We offer it at no extra cost. Forwarding will direct email to a mailbox or mailboxes that you already have.

If you need a small number of mailboxes on your domain, you can use Pair Mail Pro to add one, three, or five mailboxes. If you need more than five, we recommend using a Pair Networks web hosting account for email. The website can be hosted anywhere and the email can be handled on the account. Please see our Knowledge Base pages for these email options:

You can also use email through Google Workspace, Office 365, or any other email provider. 

Directing email to other providers can be handled by adding Custom DNS records. Please contact us if you need help finding the records or creating them.

Transferring Away

You can move your domain to a new hosting provider without transferring the registration. If you want to move the hosting while keeping the domain with us, your web host can provide name servers to use on your domain. After you have the name servers, you can follow these steps to update them:

  1. Log into the Domain Name Management System.
  2. Click the domain to update.
  3. Replace the current name servers with the new name server host names, and click Change NS.

If you want to transfer the registration away from Pair Domains, you will need to start the transfer with your new registrar. Before starting the transfer, please make sure that you have the Transfer Authorization Code and that you stop automatically rejecting outbound transfers:

  1. Log into the Domain Name Management System.
  2. Click the domain to update.
  3. Click Show Code.
  4. Save the code.
  5. Uncheck the box labeled Transfer Protection is ON, and click Update Protection. If you already see Transfer Protection is OFF, then you do not need to change the setting.

Please Note: If a domain currently uses DNSSEC on our name servers, DNSSEC should be disabled before transferring.

.UK Transfers

If you want to transfer a .uk registration away from us, you will need to know the Registrar Tag ID of the new registrar. Please contact the registrar to get the Tag ID. Once you have it, you can follow these steps:

  1. Log into the Domain Name Management System.
  2. Click the .uk domain to transfer.
  3. Click Transfer Away.
  4. Enter the Registrar Tag ID for your new registrar, and click Submit.

Please Note: Once you start a .uk transfer away, we cannot cancel it or stop it.

Mailboxes with Pair Networks

If you need mailboxes for your domain, they can be set up through a web hosting account from Pair Networks, Inc. The email can be hosted at Pair Networks and the website can be hosted elsewhere.

Pointing Email to Pair Networks

You can point email to your Pair Networks web hosting account by setting some DNS records. Before making any changes, make sure that you have the MX record for the domain. Please contact us if you need help finding the record.

When you have the record, you can follow these steps to add it to your domain:

  1. Log into the Domain Name Management System.
