Q about namecheap's whoisguard
 

Is it possible to set it to auto-renew? I don't see an option to do it and I don't get notice emails when the whoisguard subscriptions are about to expire. :(

The whoisguard renewal emails were turned off, that's fixed.

Still it would be nice to have them auto-renew using the funds available in the account.

you get a email notice 30 days before first free year runs out. After that, you can set it to autorenew

How? I renewed 5 whoisguards a while ago and I did not see an auto-renew option

Nevermind, I found it. It's right on the page where you enable domain renewals. :error

As the FAQ descripes:

Q: Is Whoisguard automatically renewed with the domain renewal?
A: No, Whoisguard is a separate service. You can set up for auto renew though. Please login to your account, choose Manage domains, click on the domain you would like to edit and choose Autorenew option from the left side menu.

Default its "off"

Yep that's it. :)
