Domain Expiry Checker

What Is Domain Expiry?

Domain expiry refers to the date when a domain name registration ends and must be renewed to remain under the current owner's control. Every domain is registered for a specific period (typically 1-10 years), after which it must be renewed or it becomes available for others to register. Domain expiration dates are stored in WHOIS records and can be looked up for any domain.

When a domain expires, it typically goes through several phases: a grace period where the original owner can still renew (usually 30-45 days), a redemption period with higher renewal fees, and finally deletion when it becomes publicly available again. Understanding these timelines is crucial for both protecting your own domains and acquiring expired domains.

Why Track Domain Expiry?

Monitoring domain expiration dates serves several important purposes:

• Protect Your Domains: Never lose a valuable domain due to missed renewal deadlines
• Domain Investment: Find valuable expiring domains before they become available
• Competitor Analysis: Monitor when competitor domains might become available
• Brand Protection: Watch for domains similar to your brand that may expire
• Due Diligence: Verify a domain's renewal status before acquisition

Expired domains can sometimes retain their search engine authority and backlinks, making them valuable for SEO purposes. However, always research an expired domain's history before acquiring it.
