Processing No-Hassle Renewals for Hover Services

Hover's no-hassle renewal feature lets you renew a domain or email address without signing in to your Hover account. It's especially useful if you're locked out of your account and need to renew right away to avoid a service interruption, or if you'd like to renew on behalf of a friend or family member.

Note: No-hassle renewal only processes a renewal payment — it doesn't grant access to make any other changes, and it doesn't indicate any level of domain ownership. You'll still need to sign in for that.

Before you begin

• The domain or email address you want to renew, spelled exactly as registered.
• A payment method to complete checkout.
• A heads-up that you'll intentionally enter incorrect sign-in details — this is expected, and it's what triggers the no-hassle flow (more on this in Step 2).

Step 1: Start the renewal and add it to your cart

1. Go to the Hover renewal page, enter the domain or email address you want to renew, and select the right-pointing arrow.
2. Select Add to cart.
3. Click Proceed to cart.
4. Review your cart and select Secure checkout.

Step 2: Trigger the no-hassle flow

1. At the account login screen, enter any random credentials — you're not trying to sign in successfully.
2. You'll see an invalid username or password error. This is expected. Select Sign in again to fail a second time and trigger the no-hassle option.

Step 3: Choose to renew without signing in

1. Once the no-hassle option appears, select Renew without signing in.
2. Choose Yes, skip sign in to confirm.

Step 4: Enter billing details and submit your order

1. Enter the required billing information and click Continue.
2. To receive a copy of the invoice, enter your email address, check the box agreeing to the Terms of Service, and click Submit order.

Note: This receipt won't appear in your Hover account's invoice history, since the renewal wasn't processed while signed in. Keep the confirmation email if you need it for your records.

Next steps

• Sign in when you get the chance to confirm the renewal on your account and review your settings — see Renewing Hover Services.
• Avoid needing this process again by turning on auto-renew — see Turning Auto-Renew On or Off.
