Domain Expiration Monitoring

Why should I monitor my domain expiration date?

The primary reason for vigilantly monitoring your domain expiry date is to guarantee the continuous operation of your website and maintain a high level of accessibility. If your website experiences downtime due to an expired domain, you risk not being able to serve your customers and clients effectively, potentially leading to a loss in sales and income.

For those with e-commerce websites, downtime translates to missed sales opportunities and a direct impact on revenue. In the context of a blog or news site, downtime can result in the loss of readership and subscribers, affecting your online presence and engagement.

How does Domain Expiration Monitoring works?

Domain Expiration Monitoring works by means of an automated procedure that periodically makes pre-programmed queries to the designated domain in order to retrieve vital data regarding its expiration date. The system receives the expiration date from the domain name registrar's information by using protocols such as Whois. The monitoring system can check the domain's status over time thanks to this proactive approach. The monitoring system starts an event when the retrieved expiration date occurs within a preset window of time, like 60 or 30 days before expiration. It then sets off alarms based on the predetermined on-call schedule, making sure that pertinent parties are informed in a timely manner so they can take the appropriate steps—like renewing the domain, for example—to avoid any interruptions.
