Domain monitors track when your domain registrations expire, ensuring you never accidentally lose a critical domain.

​
Why Monitor Domain Expiration?

  • Expired domains can be registered by others
  • Email and services stop working immediately
  • Recovery can be expensive and time-consuming
  • Registrar auto-renewal can fail

​
Creating a Domain Monitor

  1. Go to Dashboard > Domains
  2. Click Add Domain
  3. Enter the domain to monitor
  4. Set alert threshold

​

​
Domain Information

{
  "domain": "example.com",
  "expires_at": "2025-01-15T00:00:00Z",
  "days_until_expiry": 365,
  "registrar": "Cloudflare",
  "nameservers": ["ns1.cloudflare.com", "ns2.cloudflare.com"]
}

Best Practices

Use domain monitoring as a backup, not a replacement for auto-renewal.
Include main domain, subdomains purchased separately, and acquired domains.
60+ days gives time for payment issues, registrar problems, or transfer delays.
Expired credit cards are the #1 cause of domain expiration.
