Renewals
If auto-renew is enabled on a .WORLD domain, we’ll attempt to auto-renew your .WORLD domain on its expiration date. In cases where auto-renew fails after the first billing attempt or auto-renew was not enabled at all, we’ll park your .WORLD domain name. A parked domain name will show a temporary web page when entering the domain in a web browser. If the domain isn't manually renewed within 40 days following expiration, we cancel it and remove it from your account.
Refund Details
