What is domain expiration protection?
Domain Expiration Protection (or DEP) is a service provided by Bluehost that prevents your domain name from expiring accidentally. This service will automatically protect your domain if there are issues when we process your renewal payment.
Why is domain expiration protection important?
Prevents unintentional domain expiration
The primary benefit of domain expiration protection is that it prevents your domain name from expiring unintentionally. This can happen for various reasons, such as your credit card information changing, or missing the notification about your renewal date coming up. Without domain expiration protection, your website could go down, and you could lose access to your domain name permanently.
Maintains SEO rankings
Your website’s search engine optimization (SEO) rankings depend on the age and authority of your domain name. If your domain name expires, you will lose the history and authority associated with that domain. This can lead to a drop in your website’s SEO rankings, which can negatively impact your online visibility and traffic.
Protects your brand
Your domain name is an essential part of your brand identity. If your domain name expires, it can be picked up by someone else, who could use it for malicious purposes or redirect it to a competitor’s website. By protecting your domain name, you can ensure that your brand identity remains intact.
Saves time and money
If your domain name expires, you will have to go through the process of re-registering it, which can be time-consuming and expensive. Additionally, if someone else registers your domain name after it expires, you may have to pay a premium to buy it back. By investing in domain expiration protection, you can save yourself time and money in the long run.
