Domain Renew

Registrar managed domain names are auto-renewed once in a year, so <renew> command is not implemented for domain objects.

The renewal process of domain names

At the beginning of each month, a new bill is generated for each registrar. Bill includes all domain names, registered in the previous month and those, expiring in the current month. While included in bill, a domain name will have pendingRenew state set. Also a service message is queued for the sponsoring registrar, listing the names of domains to be paid.

By default, all domain names, included in bill will be auto-renewed when the bill is finalized (on the first day of the next month).

Till then, registrar can choose domain names for which renewal should not happen by adding and removing of clientAutoRenewProhibited state (see extensions of domain:update command).

While the bill is still open for changes (the whole month), the choice to approve/reject auto-renewal of every included domain name can be freely changed as many times as required.
