(While this is not a problem in itself, it can create confusion, so it is only recommended as a last resort.)&quot;<p>Basically you don&#x27;t need access to the domain to renew it, you only need access if you want make changes. A random member of the public can renew a domain for you without contacting you.<p>Does it not work that way with Network Solutions? Can someone not just simply renew it for them?
