Domain expiry checker.

Check a domain

Where the date comes from

The checker reads the registry's RDAP record, the structured successor to WHOIS, and takes the expiration event from it. For a subdomain it looks up the registered parent domain.

When there is no date

Some country-code registries do not publish an expiry date through RDAP. The result then says the date is not published rather than guessing. Your registrar's control panel always shows the date for domains you own.

Why it matters

When a registration lapses, the website and every mailbox on the domain stop working at the same time, and after the grace period the name can be registered by someone else. Auto-renew fails more often than people expect: an expired card, a registrar account under a former employee's email, or a domain bought on a different registrar years ago.

After the check

• Fewer than 30 days left: confirm auto-renew and the payment method at the registrar today.
• Already expired: renew immediately; most registries allow a grace period.
• Many domains to track: keep the renewal dates in one place instead of in several registrar accounts.

Never miss a renewal

Domain Watch checks the expiry date of every domain you add once a day and emails you 30, 14, 7 and 1 days before it, together with TLS certificate expiry.
