Summary: How to move a service's renewal to a different day of the month (for example the 1st) with a small one-time payment for the days added.

## What this is

You can move a service's renewal to the day of the month that suits you, for example the 1st, or just after payday. You pay a small one-time invoice for the days added (the renewal always moves forward, never backward), and every future renewal stays on the new day. Find it at **Billing, Change Billing Day** (https://vpsdime.com/changebillingday).

This changes **which day** you're billed. To change **how often** you're billed (monthly, quarterly, annual), use [Change your billing cycle](https://vpsdime.com/knowledgebase/client-area/billing/change-billing-cycle) instead.

## Steps

1. Go to **Billing, Change Billing Day**.
2. Find the service in **Your Services** and click **Change Day**.
3. Pick the new day of the month. Each option shows the new renewal date, the days added, and the exact price.
4. Click **Create Invoice & Continue to Payment** and pay the invoice with any payment method, including account credit.

The renewal day changes the moment the invoice is paid. Nothing changes until then.

## What you'll see

- A **Your Services** table with each service's cycle, price, and next due date, and a **Change Day** button per service.

- After choosing a service, a grid of days 1 to 28. Your current billing day is marked and the rest show the new renewal date and cost.

## Things worth knowing

- **Days 29 to 31 aren't offered** so your renewal day also exists in February. Pick the 28th or the 1st if you want end-of-month or start-of-month billing.
- **The change always moves forward.** Choosing a day earlier in the month than your current one lands on that day in the **next** month; you pay for the extra days in between, at your plan's daily rate. The exact price is on each option card.
- **The invoice is not charged automatically.** Saved cards and PayPal subscriptions never auto-pay a billing-day invoice; pay it from the invoice page yourself.
- **The offer expires if unpaid.** An unpaid invoice cancels itself automatically after a few days (shown next to the pending entry). If it expires or you cancel, your renewal day stays as it is.
- **One pending adjustment per service.** A pending billing-day change blocks creating a [prepayment](https://vpsdime.com/knowledgebase/client-area/billing/pay-in-advance) or [due-date sync](https://vpsdime.com/knowledgebase/client-area/billing/sync-due-dates) for the same service until you pay or cancel it. Submitting a different day replaces the pending one.
- **Several services to move to the same day?** [Sync your renewal dates](https://vpsdime.com/knowledgebase/client-area/billing/sync-due-dates) does them all on one invoice.

## Troubleshooting

- **The button says View Invoice instead of Change Day.** The service has an unpaid or overdue renewal invoice. Pay that first, then come back.
- **My current day is not clickable.** You're already billed on that day; there's nothing to change (and nothing to charge).
- **My service isn't listed.** Only Active, Pending, or Suspended services with a recurring billing cycle are shown. Free and one-time services have no renewal date to move.
- **"Your renewal is due very soon."** When the renewal is a day away or less, pay the upcoming renewal invoice first; you can change the day right after.
