Domain expiration monitoring: don’t lose your site to a renewal email

When a domain registration lapses, your website, your email and every link to you stop working at once. It usually happens because the renewal notice went to someone who left, or to a card that expired. StatusEagle reminds you early, in the channels your team actually reads.

In brief

Domain monitoring tracks a domain’s registration expiry date, usually from WHOIS or RDAP data, and alerts the owner early enough to renew before the domain lapses.

1

How domains actually get lost

After expiry, there’s usually a grace and redemption period, but restoring a domain can be slow and expensive, and some registrars park the domain with ads in the meantime.

Renewal emails go to a former employee, agency or developer
Auto-renew is on, but the saved card expired
The domain sits in a different registrar account from all your others
A “defensive” domain (the .net, a typo, an old brand) nobody thinks about
The registrar changed ownership and the reminder emails changed format
2

How it works

Add the domain. StatusEagle reads its expiry date from WHOIS.
The date is re-checked regularly, so a renewal is picked up automatically.
You get reminders at the thresholds you choose, through email, Slack, SMS or any other alert channel.
Website monitors already include domain expiry for the domain they check.
