Steps
- Open the renewal email and tap the pay link. Or open My sites, tap your site, and tap Pay now or Renew now.
- On the renewal page, check the amount. It shows Renewal (1 month) and your total.
- Add a coupon if you have one. Turn the wallet switch on or off.
- Tap Pay and complete the payment.
- The page says Thanks! Your renewal is paid.
Where to see your renewal date
Open My sites, your site, then Billing: renewal, cancel, invoices. The page shows Next renewal, Next month’s amount and Invoice due by.
Good to know
- You can pay a renewal with a coupon and with your Keynate Wallet credit.
- Only if you turn on Pay renewals from my wallet automatically is a renewal that your wallet fully covers paid on its date. Keynate emails you 3 days before.
- Billing is monthly. Nothing is charged automatically: Keynate emails you an invoice with a pay link before each renewal.
- The billing page also shows This month’s bill: what your next renewal costs, line by line (website software, your own server, template, apps, add-ons, backup), and Included in your plan (not charged) with your image storage and emails used this period.
If you miss the due date
- Payment due. Your site still works. Renew soon to keep publishing. Keynate gives you a grace period after the due date. The Terms say 7 days, and your billing page shows the date.
- Your site is read-only. Readers can still see your site. You cannot publish or edit until you renew. Nothing is deleted.
- Your site is suspended. Visitors see a suspended page, but your content is kept. Pay now and it is back within minutes on the same server.
- Your server was removed. A backup is kept. Use Pay & restore to set up a new server and bring your site back. A one-time setup fee applies. Restoring is automatic and is ready within 24 hours.

Common problems
- "We’re checking your server. Please try again in a few minutes." Wait, then tap Try again. Nothing was charged.
- "The price was updated since you looked." Check the new amount, then pay again.
- "We’ve emailed you a renewal link. Can’t find it?" Check spam, or write to the support address shown on the page.
- "We’re confirming your payment." The page updates by itself. You can close it. Keynate emails you.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Will Keynate charge my card on its own?
No. A renewal happens only when you press Pay, or when you switched on wallet auto-pay and your wallet covers it in full.
