Yes, we use AuthorizeNet for secure on-line payments. You can pay your invoices using Visa, MasterCard, or American Express.On your invoice you are given a URL that looks like this

Yes - when you do a credit card charge for the first time, you are given the option to automatically charge any future monthly charges. If you check the option, the same credit card will be automatically charged monthly.An invoice is generated and emailed to you, however it will state that the balance due is automatically charged.
We understand that sometimes credit cards are cancelled and new ones issued. To update the information simply make a charge on the new card and the new information will update the database. There are 2 ways to do this
- If you notice the credit card information on your emailed invoice is incorrect, take this action within 7 days of the invoice date. On your billing page, there will be a balance due, simply click on the "Pay by Credit Card" button, and charge the balance to your new card. Then email support@bigbiz.com and request the current autocharge be cancelled because you did a manual charge.
- If you notice the credit card information on your emailed invoice is incorrect, but you are too late to stop the autocharge. Go to the URL http://billing.bigbiz.com/payment.html, enter your domain name, and the amount $10, and continue to pay. This will charge $10 to your credit card, and register your card for future charges. Note that the $10 will credit your account and reduce your next invoice by $10.
- The second procedure above can be used anytime to change credit card info.

The short answer is YES, pay for 10 months, and you get another 2 free. For a normal account that would be for a whole year. To qualify for this discount your account must be in good standing, and not have a history of excess charges. (The reason being excess charges billed monthly would defeat the purpose of yearly advance billing).Most accounts are eligible for this discount, saves you all those billing hassles. When you charge to a credit card, there is a place on the form to request annual billing. If you select it then the next invoice will be for a full year. If you pay by check, enclose a note to our accounting department that you wish to go on annual billing and we will set it up for you.

We will disable web sites for many reasons, including non-payment, copyright violations and other illegal activities, sending SPAM, running background jobs, etc... However many times a domain will stop working because it has expired. You can check your domain name on this page.If your domain has expired, usually you can pay the renewal fee to the registrar and it will be re-enabled in 24-48 hours.
If you worry about your site being disabled for non-payment, may we recommend the automatic monthly credit card charge or the yearly billing options. They are the easist ways to make sure your account is kept current.
