# How do I cancel the automatic renewal of a domain name?

When you register a domain name with Ex2, we enable automatic renewal by default. This is to avoid problems caused by an oversight or delay, which can lead to the accidental loss of your domain.

It is however very simple to disable this automatic renewal if you want to get rid of a domain. 

## Follow these steps to cancel the automatic renewal of a domain name

To unlock your domain, you must first [sign in to your account](https://help.ex2.com/en/article/comment-me-connecter-a-mon-compte-ex2-14amrhr/?bust=1676032517299) in the Ex2 customer area.

From the menu to the left of the Customer Space interface, click **My Domains**.
