How it works
Once a day, we look up your domain's registration through RDAP, the modern replacement for WHOIS, and read its expiration date. We warn you well before it expires.
When a domain expires, your site and your email stop working within days. After a grace period, anyone can register it, including people who buy expired domains to resell them or to abuse their reputation.
Settings
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Warning days | 30 |
Warn when the domain expires within this many days. |
Statuses
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| OK | The domain expires in more than the warning days. |
| Warning | The domain expires soon, or the registry did not publish an expiration date. |
| Failed | The domain has expired. |
By default you are notified of warnings and failures.
Fixing common problems
- Expires soon: renew it at your registrar, and turn on auto-renew with a payment method that will still be valid on the renewal date.
- No expiration date found: some country registries (ccTLDs) do not publish expiry dates over RDAP. Check the date at your registrar and set a reminder.
