DOMAIN NAME RENEWAL TERMS

When UniMinds registers your domain name with GoDaddy, you will have the Domain ‘Auto Renewal’ option applied. Your FIRST year of Domain Registration is Free. UniMinds covers the cost of your first year registration.

Automatic Renewal

Automatic GoDaddy Domain Renewal is the default setting. Domain names will automatically renew, for a period equivalent to the length of your original domain name registration / hosting contract length, and payment will be taken from the Payment Method you have on file with UniMinds. Thus, if you have chosen to register your domain name for one (1) year, UniMinds will automatically renew it for one (1) year. If you have chosen to register your domain name for two (2) years, UniMinds will automatically renew it for two (2) years, and so on. The default renewal is set for 1 year @ $21.99. If you wish to change your automatic renewal term to a different period from your original term, please contact your CPOC.
