How to Monitor Domain Name Expiry
Why Domain Expiry Matters
Losing a domain is catastrophic — it breaks your website, email, and all links pointing to your site. Expired domains can be snatched by squatters who will charge thousands to return them. Prevention is far cheaper than recovery.
Common Expiry Causes
Domains expire when auto-renewal fails (expired credit card, account issues), when the responsible person leaves the organization, or when a domain was registered under a personal account that's forgotten. Regular monitoring catches all these scenarios.
Setting Up Monitoring
Add your domains and AlertPulse will check WHOIS/RDAP data for expiry dates. You'll get alerts at 60, 30, and 7 days before expiry, giving you plenty of time to ensure renewal happens.
Domain Portfolio Management
For organizations with many domains, centralize all registrations under one registrar with auto-renewal enabled. Use monitoring as a safety net — even with auto-renewal, payment failures can cause unexpected lapses.
